He says that it wasn't in a repo, so it's a bit weird that it would delete all his files, it looks more like he had an initialised repo and hadn't committed the files yet.
I don't even know how you could work 3 months without committing, even working on a throwaway thing for more than a few hours I make a new local repo, it doesn't cost much.
Also the files are not gone, they are still on the hard-drive/SSD it's not that hard to look up file recovery software.

- lopespm 9y agoExactly, a good portion of deleted files could probably be salavaged using "Recuva" right away, for example
- Boothroid 9y agoExactly, all the deletion does is remove the file system connection to the location of the data on disk. Someone needs to get in touch with this guy and tell him to stop using that drive!
