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.
I don't have that problem. I have a library of the original eBooks. I then copy what I want to my active library and then edit from there. If I was to be done and delete the original ePub backup, I still have the original eBook.
