Here is the exact warning that a user had to click through in order to get to where they got:

Hm ok yeah, that seems quite scary sounding so that i would strongly hesitate before clicking on "discard ALL changes". Still, I wonder if a second confirmation dialog with more information is warranted for a command that's so destructive.

I wouldn't assume "discard changes" means "delete files that existed before the editor did".

It's not that. It means discard all changes made after the last change committed to this local repository.

In this case it seems like it also performed a git clean and deleted his untracked files too. Someone actually opened a an issue to try and prevent the behaviour in the future
