I've recently started using SpaceVim which is basically vim that comes with some extra plugins and pre-done configurations. However, it has a default behavior that bothers me... It remembers changes after closing the file. That means that if I press u after reopening the file I end up erasing changes that I was working on a different day. The behavior is the following:

While the text was disappearing I was pressing u... Is there any variable I can configure in vim to reverse this behavior?

    you want to disable persistent undo files. Read about it at :h 'undofile'

The setting to use to preserve the undo is: set undofile

To disable undo file: set noundofile

Not a direct question to "how can I disable this feature", but my little undofile_warn.vim plugin will show a warning before undoing changing from previous Vim instances, which should also solve your problem, while retaining this (IMO useful) functionality.

Also see: Can I be notified when I'm undoing changes from the undofile?, which also has some other solutions, but my plugin has been working well for me personally for the last 7 years.

But if you want to disable it altogether you can use set noundofile, as Vivian's answer already mentions.
