Lost files

We just had a developer lose some work and I'm trying to figure the best way to get it back. Basically, we had a folder called \Project which had all of the content in it. We added two new folders \Project\SubProjectA & \Project\SubProjectB. We should have moved the code from Project to SubProjectA and then branched SubProjectA to SubProjectB. That wasn't what happend (not exactly sure what happened). Long story short, the code in \Project is gone, and some old code was added to SubProjectA & B.

How do I get all of the files back from the \Project directory from just before the delete?

I'm assuming what you are moving around and working with is inside Vault, right? Unless you performed an obliterate, all files will be available through history. You may have to go up a folder level or to root and view history to see the files. Anything can be retrieved through history.

If you are on Vault 3.1.9 or higher, a rollback feature will be available for files.
