"Changes" encompass more than you think. Creating / Deleting files are also changes, not just edits to a file.

If the change is an edit to a tracked file, "Discard Changes" will reverse the edit.
If the change is deleting a tracked file, "Discard Changes" will restore it back.
If the change is a new untracked file, "Discard Changes" will remove it as intended.

It can also be all of them at the same time, which is why VSCode uses "Changes" instead of "Files".

And the terminology is misleading, resulting in problems. shrug.

I find it difficult to lay the blame with VSCode when the terminology belongs to git, which (even 7 years ago) was an industry standard technology.

People using tools they don't understand and plowing ahead through scary warnings will always encounter problems.

If the change is a new untracked file

Wasn't the issue that it deleted a bunch of preexisting untracked files? So old untracked files.
