Thank you @mpboom. That is correct. @balamu783, thanks for being here! I’ve moved your comment from an already-existing thread into it’s own topic. Because your question is slightly different from the original thread you posted in, you’ll more likely get help with this open as a new topic. Best of luck! |

Unfortunately, this sounds like you’re asking a question about TortoiseGit and I’m not sure how their Clean functionality works. You may want to check with the support page for TortoiseGit itself. If it uses the underlying git clean implementation, that is a command specifically for deleting files that are not included in your Git repository, meaning that there is no record or backup of them in Git. Unfortunately, this most likely means that unless they went to some sort of OS-specific recycle bin or trash folder, that the files are not going to be easily recoverable and not something that we’re going to be able to assist with. Let us know if you have more questions. |
