recently my hard drive got corrupted and all data has been lost. so what i found that i use vim with undotree so all my backup files has been stored in .vim/undotree directory.

so i need to recover all those files from there. please tell me how to do it.

I’m sorry to hear that! Unfortunately AFAIK the undo history only stores a fraction of the original content, mainly the changed parts, so it can’t be used to restore data without the original file.
