  1. When you plan or apply your tf files, terraform will prepare the configuration state file (tfstate file). so when accidentally deleted you can able to recreate with apply command.
  2. As a best practice don't touch the tfstate file instead do changes in tf file and try prepare the plan and apply the changes.
  3. If there is any specific case where you want to touch tfstate file do let us know, we will check on that, thanks
