What should I do if I (accidentally) remove the packer_compiled.lua file

I accidentally removed the packer_compiled.lua file. After that, I was getting wired errors on startup and I didn't have access to the packer commands. Google didn't help me and eventually, I decided to completely uninstall and install neovim. That may sound like a weird thing to do in this situation but I was exhausted and that was the first thing that came to my mind. Anyway, I removed the ~/.local/share/nvim, ~/.cache/nvim, and the neovim binary (I didn't install neovim with my package manager). Then I downloaded the neovim binary from github and put it in my PATH, installed packer, and ran neovim without any problem. Then I ran PackerSync and expected packer to re-generate the packer_compiled file but that didn't happen. It just shows me a blank floating window:

That actually has happened to me before. If I just move my configs several times it will magically resolve but I want to know what should I do if that happens again.

I'm using Arch (BTW) and neovim nightly.
