Re: Recover from RecycleBin_tmp
RecycleBin~5b04.ffs_tmp (or anything like that) is not the place to (try to) recover files. Depending on how you have set "Delete and Overwrite" in your Sync settings (F8), you should be able to find files that were deleted or overwritten by FFS in your systems Recycle Bin (=default setting) (so not ...

Then use the Custom sync variant.
In that variant you can customize which actions are taken for the different Compare result categories.

@paolog
Your proposal only makes sense if you could be absolutely sure no changes have occurred in between the previous comparison session, of which the results are stored in said file, and the new/resumed comparison session.
But how could you be sure?
Right! Run a new full compare.

Re: Can be used to express the path that possible changes? For example, version number
Ah, you mean in specifying your left-right base location?
In that case you can simply specify C:\Users\dub\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\ and its counterpart as your left, respectively right base location, and use an Include Filter entry of
\Version ??.?-J\
or
\Version ??.?-J\zh_CN\Caches

Because the file-ID of both the left- and right-side file has changed compared to what it was at the end of the previous sync, as stored in the left-, respectively right-side database file.
