VS Code How to UNDO Replace All

Question

VS Code on Windows
changes were done with find and replace in the whole folder and with that, all of them saved automatically.
doing find and replace again would create a mess in different places.
undo did nothing.
ctrl+z did nothing.

How to UNDO find and replace through the whole folder?

Thanks!

this is the picture where you can see how I messed up

Answer 1

Open up one of the affected files, and Ctrl-Z (Undo) in it. It will cascade and undo all the other files as well.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, it looks like this isn’t possible. There is an open issue for this from 2018, but no progress on it that I see.

If you’re using a VC system, I would recommend you try and see if there’s anyway to recover from it.
