if you are talking about Amazon's archive facility, then you can only archive books that you purchased from Amazon.
any book you delete from your Kindle remains assocated with your amazon account ( i.e. is archived) and can be re-downloaded to your Kindle or to your kindle for .... software app, as many times as you wish. there is a limit on how many different devices/ apps you can download it to, but no limit on downloading it to same device over & over again.

you can also ( irreversibly) delete a purchased book from your Amazon history, via the amazon manage kindle pages, but if you do that it is gone forever & you'd have to pay again to get it back.

calibre has no archive facility AFAIK, so this discussion would be better placed in the Kindle forum.
