Yea this sounds like you just created a new wallet account, the AI is partially correct, the funds are still part of Pub's assets... you just have a different wallet user (nsec) connected to it. Each source in a wallet is added with a unique nsec, so you could technically add the same source twice within the same wallet (for multiple lightning addresses for example)... when you removed it from the wallet it deleted the nsec from wallet, when you re-added it it created a new one.
The steps to reconcile will be similar to in the other thread, you can manually manipulate the Pub database user table.... there 0 the funds to the abandoned account and add them to the new account
Thanks for the help, that whole thing followed the other discussion (about reconciling the balance, after setting up the node 'backup and restore' where I ended up with a different balance) #1461902

Stop Pub
Take a backup for good measure
Delete the CSV file
Edit the user table with DB Browser for SQLite
Restart
