VS Code Git clean recovery

Question

I accidentally hit Git clean command in Visual Studio code, and I lost all my files. Is there any way to recover my files? Tried to find files with recovery programs, but no results.

Unfortunately, no, those files are gone. AFIK Git doesn't create any backup copyies.

According to the source code of the clean command it executes unlink when you hit this command.

This answer here (https://stackoverflow.com/a/24673982/2441655) suggests that running git fsck --lost-found may recover some files.
