I'm not great at English, but "discard all changes" shouldn't ever mean "Delete".

In the context of version control it does. Discarding a change that creates a file means deleting the file.

Ok fair enough, but I'm under the impression these files existed before the source control was implemented.

I guess it's all up to how the program handles existing files.

I guess the newly created git repository was empty, and all the files that was present in the folder represented "changes"
