First, refer to the forum rules to avoid having your signature be deleted without warning. Re: FDS games, FDS games are actually disk images. FDS games save the game progress by writing into that disk, i.e. modifying the actual copy of the game. If you want to restore your FDS image, you must have a backup of the FDS image. IIRC, FCEU actually does not modify the original files, but instead, writes a copy of the FDS into its savestate directory. Just find the savestate directory and delete the FDS image copy from that directory, and you should be done.
