My OS locked up while using Emacs. So I hard boot, reopen Emacs, and M-x recover-session. The OS locked up at Jul 6 3:05, there are two autosave sessions at 03:04

enter image description here

Which of the two 3:04 sessions should I use?

Also, please explain the right column. What do the blue "site" and "dist" mean? What does red strike-through mean?

I am using Emacs 25.2.1 with Evil Spacemacs and Ivy on Linux.

~/.emacs.d/.cache/auto-save/site/ contains files for many old buffers. When I tried to recover "site":

Read error: is a directory, /.emacs.d/.cache/auto-save/site

~/.emacs.d/.cache/auto-save/dist/ is empty. When I tried to recover "dist":

Read error: is a directory, /.emacs.d/.cache/auto-save/dist

I recovered the session 14543-localhost.localdomain, using C-c C-c.
