Not sure what you mean by "rebuilding" it.
If you just delete, it will get remade when you next log a cache on your Oregon, starting your next set of field notes from that cache.
If you mean, how can I get all my previous field notes back, when you load them into gc.com, it says something like "Ignoring all field notes before dd/mm/yy. You can uncheck that to get all previous notes back if they're still there on the Oregon in the geocache_visits.txt file.
If you mean, how can I restore an accidentally deleted one, you might be able to use a Windows file undelete utility if its sectors haven't been reused on the Oregon.
Just before I add a new set of caches I always delete everything in the GPX folder, and I delete the geocache_visits.txt file too, but that's really totally unnecessary, and I only do it to make a fresh start. Then I filter the set of caches I want and use the GSAK macro to load them in. Maybe something like all available unfound multis, trads, and solved puzzles (with corrected coords) within 100km.
Sorry if that's off the track or too much info
