You can restore it by dragging the folder back from the desktop.
Hey, would this mean that if I create a new character, and the game generates a new folder for it, there should not be any corrupt new file in there, and the game won't crash any longer when I play that new character? I'm asking because I have the same problem the OP is describing, and haven't been able to figure out what is wrong with my installation either.
