I constantly hear that people are “Data mining” images from video games and they can see what the game looked like way before release (even extremely early prototype versions). How do they even do that and why are these images still in the game ?

It’s rare to be able to completely recreate early beta versions just from the final release. Yes sometimes old assets aren’t deleted from the release for one reason or another (maybe they were overlooked, maybe they are part of another asset that is still being used and they don’t want to break anything).
But usually reconstructing old betas relies on looking at early prerelease screenshots published about the game and actual leaked early beta/prototype versions.
