Check the History of the image(s). You should be able to undo that step there.

If it was a sync settings on images then yes i could but this ( synchronize folder) is the whole folder, there is nothing in a history

I'm sorry, but I do not understand what you are saying here. Changes in develop settings are recorded in the History. It doesn't (or shouldn't) matter if these are changes made on an individual image or on an entire folder of images. So what does the history of one of these images looks like?

BTW, do you make regular catalog backups?...

For Sachin010 it may be the case that all the images in the folder were "Missing", and as a result the [Synchronize Folder] deleted these files from the Catalog before a re-import.
As Victoria states in her article- Dangers of Synchronize Folder
"It doesn’t intelligently relink missing files....."
As asked by Johan- Restore from a backup Catalog may be the one way to restore the edits for this Folder of images.

may be this image would help you understand better. ofcourse the edits were done in a develop module but not the synchronized folder.
i had done this (synchronised folder from library module)

Then sadly you're going to need to redo the edits and turn on backups for future mishaps. It would be worth you reading the article I-See-Light linked to too, so you don't accidentally do it again.
