I tried to delete some things from my local calendar that I had merged into the CalDAV calendar.
I tested two items. I deleted them from the local calendar and they did not disappear from the CalDAV calendar.
I was trying to fix the problem of getting two reminders for appointments.
Now after deleting a bunch of appointments from the local, they disappeared from the CalDAV also. I checked with my host and they say there is no way for them to recover this. There was one level of Undo but it not appear to have any effect.
I’m very confused because I had hidden the old local calendar, so anything new I was adding should not have been in the local. I was using the CalDAV. Yet an appointment I added yesterday has now disappeared.
What a mess. I’m so confused. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

All i can suggest is if you have been making regular eM Client backups either automatically via Settings or manually via the Menu, then you can try restoring a recent backup via “Menu / File / Restore” and whatever has changed should then restore if they were in your local calendar.
If you don’t have any recent eM Client backup.zip files to restore (which are usually located by default in your “Documents / eM Client” folder), but you do regularly backup your computer user profile to another internal or external drive, then you can restore the hidden database folder and replace your current database.
Thanks. I think this will restore the entire eM Client data including contacts and email and so forth? I was concerned about making things worse since I’ve only lost one of the calendars.
Also re the Library, I can’t tell which file would be the one to replace for calendars.

Then you can do a Partial Restore from an recent or older backup.
See the below official documentation “blog extract” below from the following support page.
How to do a partial restore
If you only need some of the data from your backup and don’t want to replace everything, you have the option of conducting a partial restore. It’s essential to know how to restore offline and change database locations to begin a partial restore. Here are the steps:
Begin by renaming the database (For example ‘eM Client main’).
Start the eM Client application on your computer - it will create a new empty database under the old folder name ‘eM Client’.
Restore your data from the backup. Completing this action while offline is recommended so that no new messages are downloaded during the process.
Locate the data you wish to retrieve. Export the data via Menu > File > Exportor use right-click > ‘Save as’ to download it.
Shut down eM Client.
Delete the database where you restored, named ‘eM Client’.
Rename your old database (‘eM Client main’) back to the original name (‘eM Client’).
Start eM Client app - it will load your main database back.
Finally, import the data you exported via Menu > File > Import or saved to return it to eM Client.
Partial restore is a way to return specific data back to eM Client without losing your current database. It’s not always an ideal option for every situation, but a partial restore is a solution for users who want to restore pieces of data they might have lost without changing their current settings.
