Unless you have removed the DRM, that copy on your computer can not be opened. An attempt to open it will result in a "This book is expired and cannot be opened" error with a checkbox to remove from library.

If you strip the DRM on one of those "expired/returned" loans, you will be able to open it.

I could have sworn that I stated that explicitly in my message. You know, the words that read
Unless you have removed the DRM in the part I quoted above.

And again, I did not mention a physical copy on computer. I was rather specific in what I said though I had forgotten that my procedure when returning from ADE was to return & remove.
Yes, if I return and remove, I could find the book in the trash or heck, I could even try using an undelete utility. That still won't let me place it back in the library as a readable book. If you try opening it, you should get the "No record for this loan is found on this machine. It may have been returned." message.
