How do we recover the 2018 return data from a *.~tt file??

I prepared my wife and my 2018 tax returns, net filed both, saved PDF copies and saved the return as a *.tt18 file; no problems.  

My daughter prepared her and her husbands tax returns, net filed both, saved PDF copies and attempted to save the return as a *.tt18 file...  

HOWEVER, when she tried to save the .tt18 file Turbo tax crashed leaving only a *.~tt file in the save folder.  How do we recover the 2018 return data??

The *.~tt looks to be about the right size for a *.tt18 file but won't load in TurboTax.  Screen capture attached.

Since my daughter did manage to net file her returns for 2018 this is not a priority BUT it would be nice to have the *.tt18 as the starting point for next year's tax returns.

We've used TurboTax forever and never had a problem, so this is a first.
