During the current session when you first performed the merge: If you decide to abandon the changes, you can Undo them all by choosing 'Undo Merge of (15/04/2011 8:30:22 PM)' from the Edit menu.
That will restore the file to the state before you started. Here is an extract from Help File: "Making a backup copy of your Family File before doing a Merge is a good practice. The merge process changes the Family File, creating new links and destroying others. If you merge two individuals who are not really duplicates, it is impossible to retrieve the deleted record unless you have a backup. Legacy makes a temporary backup copy of the Family File automatically when you begin a merge but this backup is only available during the current session. When you quit Legacy, the temporary backup file is deleted. If you discover later that you want to restore an earlier condition of your Family File, you can only do so if you have made a permanent backup." If you have exited the session where you started the merge then the temporary backup has been deleted. You will only be able to restore the file from any backups you have from before the merge was started.
