I didn't need to go after all.
You didn't need to run.
She didn't need to wake up this early.
"Needn't have" is old English and isn't used often but here are some examples: "I studied all night but needn't have done so because I was already prepared."
"The bus came after you left, so you needn't have taken a cab." But again, this is basically never used.

'didn't need to' just means 'did not need to',
and 'needn't have' just means the same thing, it's just 'need not have'.
"thanks, but you didn't need to do that"
"thanks, but you needn't have done that"
(you can also replace 'need to' with 'have to' in the first example)
"she didn't need to do that"
"she needn't have done that"
Oh, and the reason you use 'do' in the first examples and 'done' in the second examples is because 'to do' is correct, and 'to done' never is. You use done in the second one because it doesn't use 'to'.
sorry for the extra information haha
