I'm guessing no backup.
May have to recreate it.
I backup my DB after major changes and have about 20 backups with my original starting DB on the web (Dropbox, google drive ....)
Then when I screw it all up, I open a previous version and rename the malfunctioned object and copy over the backed up version object

Basic rules to db by:
- when you think you don't need it, prefix the name with zz (puts it at the bottom of the nav list), see what breaks (if anything) and wait a few weeks, or rename and never delete unless you need the disk space.
- automate your backups with Task Scheduler so you don't forget.

This comment will quite possibly be of no help because you probably already know the answer to this at your particular environment/company, but, I'll throw this in just on the slight chance it helps. Not even sure if your environment is a corporate one, but:
Do you work at a company that has "previous versions" turned on for network folder backups? Right-click on the folder in question and go to Properties, see if a tab is Previous Versions ...
Some places I've worked have had this turned on, which is very helpful - and vastly preferable to going through the "I.T. Request" for file restores.
