I was playing with git and github, so was learning how to contribute to opensource projects, so i forked and cloned a repository. Afterwards, i deleted the entire file, only to discover that my commits were still staged. I have tried deleting them to no avail. It bugs me because it keeps showing i have over 10k staged commits and i can't unstage or delete them. I even uninstalled vs code but it's still there. the following screenshot shows the error message i get when i try unstaging and discarding them. error Message

here is the other screenshot of before i clicked on it, showing me i have over 10k changes unstaged.10k files

    There’s only three staged, others are unstaged changes. Have you tried `git reset --hard` from command line? Note it will remove all changes you have made so far. VS Code does nothing to git, uninstalling it won’t change what the repository’s state is. – Sami Kuhmonen Jul 26 '22 at 12:56
  • Thank you, i have done it but the files are still there :( – Wepngong Maureen Jul 26 '22 at 13:01

Open the terminal in VSCode and from any directory inside the project type:

git reset

This should unstage all and allow you to stage files individually
