Please Help! Need this resolved for work ASAP... Issues with smart objects & layers

I desperately need help figuring out how to fix this issue for work... I'll provide any screenshots necessary.
But a little while ago, I somehow uploaded each layer onto my creative cloud library for a design template I have been using and then deleted them.
When revisiting the edit file I now cannot edit each smart object tied layer as it keeps insiting I relink it from the creative cloud.
What can I do? Is there a work around?
I have 3-5 different designs like this before I came to realize it...

I'm not understand what you deleted. Was it the original smart object file? Or the smart object from your Library? Can you download the file from the Library to your drive, and then use that to relink (or delete and replace)?

I deleted the smart object from my library

Can you delete and add the smart object back in from your local drive?
