Not sure there's anything we can do about that.

The editor makes backups of the Map.bin file automatically (Map1.bkup etc.); if you still have those in your level folder, maybe you can get your level back. If not, you might want to try using some undelete software and hope for the best.

I see three of them, but how do I access them?

In explorer, rename map.bin to map.bin~ then rename any of the backups to map.bin

If you can open the level with the editor, but it looks blank, try using the menu option Go to -> Start Position.

Sorry for the late reply.; But it worked!  I tried everything you guys said (except for the recovery software) And I got my level back! Thank you so much! Nifflas Support Forum, I don't know what I would do without you!  :^^:
