When you do lose something local (like editing an EPUB and saving it after deleting things that you can't recover), then the correct course of action is to download an older version from the cloud to a place outside of the Calibre library and then use Calibre to delete the wrongly-edited EPUB and then import the downloaded backup into the book record.
No need to do that, just drag the downloaded backup EPUB (e.g. from desktop) into the Book details panel and confirm you want to replace. Then delete the downloaded backup EPUB.
