Even reset hard wouldn’t delete untracked files. This was a complete overreach by the GUI, performing a clean (and likely a forced one, as git’s requireForce defaults to true).
And they did rectify that eventually, giving a warning, and an option to simply reset. It’s unfortunate this poor person had to be the trigger for that change.
Poor guy basically did a git reset —hard HEAD without even a git repository

WORSE! If you read the thread and linked issue, it was closer to a
clean.
