Does deleting the repo off disk and redownloading from remote considered recovering? If so I'm a git expert.

Delete? Never.

mv git_repo git_repo.bad

I do this sometimes but then I forget about it and then node_modules in each repo fills my SSD.

I mostly only use git at work and I guess I've never had the same work machine long enough to worry about this. It helps that each of our repos is fairly small. At least the ones I touch.
