Comment (by talldanwp):

 @hicklingadmin I tested and couldn't reproduce the issue you mentioned,
 but I do see how this might be caused by a confusing user interface.

 Prior to 5.7 when a reusable block was added to a post it couldn't be
 directly edited. A distinct 'edit' button had to be clicked to unlock the
 reusable block.

 Since 5.7 though, a reusable block can be directly edited. There's no
 separate edit mode. It might be that you were accidentally removing the
 block inside the reusable block if you had the wrong block selected, and
 then saving that change would update the reusable block everywhere.

 If that's right, I'd recommend using the breadcrumb at the bottom of the
 screen to make sure the reusable block is selected before deleting.

 There are ideas to improve this:
 - https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/29337 - this idea would
 make it easier to select the reusable block.
 - https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/29871 - this idea would
 show a save button on the block whenever it's edited.
