Answer 1

With TortoiseGit 1.8.7.1, a warning message will be added when creating repository on special folders, such as Desktop, drive root, UNC root, User Profile, Windows Directory, system32, Program Files

The Create Repository menu item may be clicked by mistake.

Answer 2

Try this

git reset HEAD *

It would unstage all of your files and none of your changes will go away.

Answer 3

Do not run git reset --hard that will delete all the files. Delete the hidden .git folder.

Press Win + R type in cmd and press enter.

cd Desktop
rmdir /S .git

Answer 4
