Unsmoothing polygons

Hey guys, another noob question from me:

Can I unsmooth an object after I give it one level of smooth and then I hit "delete by type history"? Now he has no longer that level 0 to come back to.
So is there an option that gives a lower level of polygons?

Thanks in advance!!!

true true..hey I see now that it has the option "delete non-deformer history" ..
-smoothing is a deformer I guess, but how about moving polygons, cuting, extruding etc? 'cause basically that's a lot of stuff you want to get rid off..
