Seems like "history" is just a descriptive log.  I just removed the entry from History but that didn't seem to make any difference and funds are still locked.
Like I've said above (Post #50), the lightning funds below must be a "bug" and there's no on-chain funds deducted.
And upon deleting the local transaction in the history, your non-spendable UTXO(s) should be available again.

I have tried to tinker the wallet file (testnet), I've found out that you can manually remove those bugged channels by removing the "channel backup" entry in the wallet file.
But that's quite dangerous if you don't know what you're doing so, restoring the seed should be enough if there no active channels in your wallet.

Here's the the important part (quoting myself):
I tried to reproduce it trice and the "bugged LN funds" reached 0.06 tBTC while my original onchain funds is only 0.02 tBTC and it wasn't spent.

Cool. I restored my wallet and it's now all back to normal. Thank you.
