The person didn’t have any git repository; probably a new programmer that didn’t know how version control works and just clicked discard without understanding what that means in this situation.

Just curious, git doesn't touch untracked files though?

git clean does. Turns out VSCode did a clean with that GUI option at that time, not sure of current behaviour.
