Intellij IDEA Cannot Undo

I am working on a project at Intellij IDEA. I moved refactored some packages. However I want to undo my changes. When I click revert button it says

Cannot Undo

and shows a list under that:

Following files affected by this action have been already changed

How can I revert my changes because I lost some packages and classes. Does Intellij IDEA keeps them inside a temporary folder?

PS: I use open jdk 1.6.0 on a 64 bit Ubuntu computer.

Solution

  • IntelliJ IDEA has a great feature called as local history. I could revert my changes. There is a video gives a detailed example for it:
