I used a medicine called Magic Purifying Powder for aquariums and waited for my upper filter to clean the cloudy water. However, after an hour, I accidentally dropped water from the cotton filter back into the aquarium while changing it. Again it's cloudy Should I use the Magic Purifying Powder again and repeat the process, or should I let the aquarium filter handle it?

It's not a product I have ever come across. While I can find the product to purchase, I can't find anything about what's actually in it or how it works. Just a lot of word salad. This along with not particularly positive reviews would lead me to not put it into an aquarium in the first place.
From what reviews there are, it seems to be some kind of water clarifier, and that's what it appears you have used it for. What a clarifier does is clump all the fine particles together so your filter can more easily remove them. If it's the same as other clarifiers on the market it's safe to use once every 24 hours, but as this is such an uncommon product, who knows. But it also makes claims about purifying and sterilising the water reducing the amount of maintenance you need to do, which sounds similar to Tetra Easy Balance, which is something you don't really need.
I would look into what your cloudiness is caused by first. There are many things that cause this, all of which have different ways of rectifying that are better options than just throwing chemicals in the water which only treat symptoms and not cause.

This is a new product to me but sounds like a product similar to Acurel-F which coagulates smaller particles into larger particles to get filtered out. I'd say if you are talking about a heavy cloud, I'd reuse the product. If you have a light cloud, I'd let the filter clear it.
That said, do you know what was causing the cloudiness to begin with? That is what you should concentrate on fixing vs using products to get rid of the cloud.

Great minds thinking alike.
This sounds like Acurel-F but in powder form. I really wish companies would stop promoting products that reduce water changes. They are the best thing for fish in fish tanks. :^sSimilar threads
