remaining
Used as an adjective to express that something or someone has stayed in a place or state, or exists as a remainder. It is the past participle of the verb 'bleiben' (to stay/remain).
Die übrig gebliebenen Kuchenstücke wurden für den nächsten Tag aufgehoben.
The remaining pieces of cake were saved for the next day.
'Geblieben' (remaining) is the past participle of 'bleiben' (to stay/remain). As an adjective, it almost always comes before a noun to describe it.
Der einzig gebliebene Zeuge konnte sich an nichts erinnern.
The only remaining witness could not remember anything.
The verb 'bleiben' (to stay/remain) forms its past tenses with the auxiliary verb 'sein' (to be). Therefore it is 'ich bin geblieben' (I stayed), not 'ich habe geblieben.' This knowledge helps you understand the origin of the adjective.
Er ist als Einziger bis zum Ende der Party geblieben.
He was the only one who stayed until the end of the party.
'Geblieben' (remaining) is very often used together with 'übrig' as 'übrig geblieben' (left over/remaining). This combination describes leftovers that were not consumed or used.
Die übrig gebliebene Pizza von gestern schmeckt heute noch gut.
The leftover pizza from yesterday still tastes good today.

'erhalten' and 'geblieben' can both express that something is still there or has not lost its condition. The difference is: 'erhalten' tends to describe an action or a goal. Someone protects or preserves something. 'geblieben' tends to describe the result: something has remained in a state or is still present as a remainder. The words can be confused because people often say: 'Das Gebäude ist erhalten geblieben' (the building has been preserved). In that case, both ideas appear together. As a simple guide: 'erhalten' fits when someone preserves something; 'geblieben' fits when you are saying what is still there in the end.
Nach dem Fest sind nur ein paar Stücke Kuchen geblieben.
After the party, only a few pieces of cake were left.
Die Stadt erhält das alte Theater, damit es nicht verfällt.
The city is preserving the old theater so that it does not fall into disrepair.
