THIS THING DELETED 3 MONTHS OF WORK – Issue #32405 – Microsoft/vscode

After being used to Visual Studio, where the project and solution files are not a 1-1 match to the file system, I used Eclipse (or some other Java IDE) and found to my shock that when I remove files from the project it also deletes them from disk.<p>Not as bad as this but certainly an eye-opener.

Totally the guy&#x27;s fault. No one in their right mind should have 3 months (or even a few days) worth of code without a backup&#x2F;version control system set up.

Solution:<p>1) Reproduce exact problem. 2) Say &quot;Fascinating&quot; in your best Spock impression. 3) Restore from daily backup.<p>If you cannot do 3, then you&#x27;ve found THE base problem.
