It does warn you it will erase the file when you discard...
Go read the actual thread. There was a bug someone found that files you have in there that aren't even associated with git still get deleted. I'm not entirely convinced this was the poster's fault.
Warns you that changes will be discarded....not quite the same words
If you use git and understand that VSC's source control stuff is just a thin wrapper around git, you should understand what "discard all changes" means
"discard" is not a git operation. Reset and restore are, but those weren't the words used.
I just tried right now to get the exact message.
The confirmation button even says
Delete File...User error.
This issue was from 2017
Ah looking at issue 32459 it was addressed shortly after.
You're right that it did originally say "Discard".
Man who clicks confirmation for leopards to delete his work is angry and surprised when his work is deleted.
