Question

I accidentally removed virtual copies of an image from the ctalog.  the original is still there, but I have serveral virtual copies, each with different edits for different effects.  Can I recover those virtual copies andtheir edits?

If you haven't yet closed Lightroom Classic, then you can probably reverse the deletion(s) by using the Edit->Undo menu command (control-Z). If you've done other things in the meantime, you will have to "Undo" those things first. So this may or may not work depending on what you have been doing in Lightroom Classic.

Alternatively, if your original image is synced to the cloud and syncing is turned on, then the deleted versions should be still available online. Deleted images are saved in the cloud storage for 60 days. You can get them back using the "Restore Photo" functionality in one of the online clients (Lightroom Desktop, Lightroom Mobile, Lightroom Web).
