Corrupted file help

The file of an arrangement I've been working on in musescore 4 got corrupted and I haven't been able to get it working despite trying a couple of ways to fix it. This is the second time this has happened with this arrangement, I had to start over from scratch a few days ago due to the same problem. If anyone could help me figure out the issue I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks!

The file contains nothing but zero-value bytes. It is not fixable.

Any idea why this could have happened or if there's any way to recover a previous version of the file? This is the second time I've had this issue.

Folders where you can search for musescore files (Windows) if you did not save one:

C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4\cloud_scores
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4\cloud_scores\.mscbackup
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\Documents\MuseScore4\Scores
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\Documents\MuseScore4\Scores\.mscbackup
C:\Users\{YourUserAccount}\Documents\MuseScore4\Cloud Scores

This list may be incomplete or incorrect though
If you find something interesting, copy that file to another location and open from that new location
