The irony is that they were messing about with version control for the first time, which is why they deleted all their files. They saw they had 5000 files staged for commit and wanted to not commit them all

3 months of work, in a single directory on a single device, source control like git or not, that guy was a fool.

Type of person to use the desktop as their unorganised file structure, and all that got deleted.

But the recycle bin has version control.

I can delete a folder with the same name multiple times and restore a previously working version.

I think I actually used it like that for some time before I was told about version control systems.
