It seems that 0000000062310500 matches to wallet.dat of Bitcoin Core. Next steps would be to extract and reconstruct that wallet file.

You can use WinHex to extract the data from the location. It may take some trys since it is not that easy to determine the length (atleast for me).
Save the data as a new .dat file and replace it with your wallet.dat on the Bitcoin Core data directory - before you do that: make sure to backup the file you are replacing (your current wallet)

If Bitcoin Core cannot read that new file you might want to start Bitcoin Core with the command line -salvagewallet which can fix the recovery attempt in a few cases.

How would I extract the data and how do I determine the length?
