The best would be to make a backup now of your data partition on your desktop.
You could do that with EDL. Or UMS.
Then you can scan the whole thing for your file. It's easier if you remember some content.
Is the .lua file your own work? Or is there another source?
Thank you!

This .lua file is generated by KOReader app, it is metadata and settings of opened books. I just had recently a crash opening a book, which was solved by removed these metadata lua files. Alas, I didn't keep the broken one and deleted it, might be very useful for debugging.

Some of the content might be easily found from new healthy files, like structures and common words. What tool should I then use? Recuva, for example? This is a PC specific file recovery tool. Or should I look for something Android-oriented?

I am not sure whether it is encrypted or not. I didn't set up the encryption manually. Does the enabled PIN code requirement make it encrypted?
