I am attempting to open this autosave file but audacity says it doesn't recognize the file type, yet nothing has changed from the last time it opened it, here is the file, I can also open every other autosaved audacity file on my computer but that one its strange.

That file is corrupt. There is no data in it, just NUL bytes (binary zeros).
