Post git reset --hard and Bitbucket pipeline rebuild theme.json not removed

[imwz]

We had to revert to a pre merger state and it was done using `it reset --hard <commit_previous_to_merge>` . But for some reason this hard reset did not remove `wp-content/themes/theme.json` We had to remove this using SFTP on our WP Engine server. Does anyone know how a hard reset and Bitbucket build could either recreate the `theme.json` just removed or a hard reset not removing this file?

current build is

I think a hard reset should reset to previous state so `theme.json` should have been removed.. But would the theme rebuild theme.json based on database data then? Or is there something else I am missing?
