Qlikview has nothing like Recyle Bin. If you have saved earlier versions of qvw, you can have them alongwith the whole qvw and not individual objects.

If you do not have backup file,I'm afraid you will have recreate your objects.

In the future please go to User preferences and choose your backup options:

Hi Murali,

I don't think you can restore the objects again after you save the file. You have to recreate it again. Check whether you have any back up files in your system. It's always good practice to take a backup before you do major updates in a file.

For that you need to maintain PRJ Folder, look at below:

Export QlikView application (QVW) file to a PRJ folder

Create a folder named the same way as QlikView application with -PRJ as suffix, in the same folder as the QlikView application. For example if the application file is named MyApplication the project folder sould be named MyApplication-PRJ
Open the QlikView application that you want to export to a PRJ Folder.
Press Save (or Ctrl+S) to trigger the export of the application content to the PRJ folder.
Open the PRJ folder in a file explorer window to confirm the content has been exported. The folder should contain XML and TXT files corresponding to the objects and properties in the QlikView application.

NOTE1: The content will only be exported to the PRJ folder every time the QVW file is savedNOTE2: The PRJ folder will not contain data, which also includes variable values Recreate QlikView application (QVW) file from the PRJ folder

If the QVW still exists, rename it to something that does not match the PRJ folder name. For example add a underscore to the file name, mainly to enable reverting to the original file if required later.
Open QlikView desktop client
Create a new document
Save the document with the same name as the PRJ Folder. For example so that you get a file structure as the image below.
Close the QlikView application, without saving the document again if prompted. This triggers importing the data from the PRJ folder to the QVW file.
Reopen the QVW file to validate that the file has been restored.
