You may have deleted it by mistake. You can recover your folder using testdisk. Google up and download this thing. Then execute the main file:

cd to testdisk-x.xx/linux
then run sudo ./testdisk_static

Follow the onscreen instructions this way:

No Log > Proceed > Intel > Analyze > Quick Search > then your partitions will be listed. Select the one for your home folder then proceed to the bharath/.evolution/path/to/your/folder

You'll probably see the deleted files in red. You can press copy to restore it.

Mr. Muneeb,

Thanks for your reply. Will try that.

But I am sure I have not deleted it and also I can see files in ~/.evolution folder.... they are there, I guess when I deleted these files will also be deleted.....
