https://archive.ph/QQKHs https://archive.ph/GfWWY I’m asking everyone who uses Google AI Studio to help with something important. I already proved that the “Delete” button in AI Studio does not delete your chat from Google’s servers. It only removes the JSON file from Google Drive. The chat, the session, and the context all stay alive. This is not a bug. This is not an accident. This is intentional behavior. But one person proving it is not enough. If many people do the same test, Google cannot deny it. So please: help by doing the test and posting a photo of the automatic Google recovery email. Here is a video showing exactly how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBQfNbPCxQw How to do the test Create a new prompt in AI Studio. Delete the prompt in AI Studio. Go to Google Drive, delete the JSON file, and empty the trash. Wait 5–10 minutes. Restore the JSON file using Google’s official recovery tool: Google Drive Recovery: https://support.google.com/googleone/answer/1716222?hl=hu&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop What you will see The prompt comes back. The chat continues. The context is still there. Nothing was deleted from Google’s servers. This proves that Google intentionally keeps your chat, even after you press Delete. Please help: post a photo of the automatic Google recovery email After you restore the JSON file, Google will automatically send you an email confirming the recovery. Please take a photo of that email showing: the sender the date the subject the recovery confirmation And post it here. If many people do this, then: Google cannot deny it the proof becomes public accountability becomes unavoidable I’m asking for help. I can’t do this alone. We need many people. This is not theory. This is not debate. This is proof, and we can only make it undeniable if many people do the test.

Google cannot claim lawful "data retention" in this case, because under applicable Union law, data subject to a retention period must be strictly isolated and restricted from live production systems. If this were a legitimate, lawful security retention period, the conversation history could not be instantly and seamlessly revived in the active production environment simply by restoring a client-side .json pointer file. Under the GDPR (specifically Articles 17 and 18) and the official guidelines of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), data retained post-deletion must be "Put Beyond Use" and placed into restricted, passive storage. The fact that the backend context remains actively connected in hot storage and reloads within milliseconds upon pointer restoration definitively refutes any legal defense of "retention," constituting unlawful data retention under EU law.

Yah, tbh this really smells like an implemented feature that got depriotized on the roadmap. The developers were probably like, "we can make an entry that has it as pending deletion, stop showing it in the UI, and then have a reaping jon that actually deletes all the files."

Later on, someone says, "Hey, to save on compute, we could just reap when we're low on space. No need to delete on a cron."

Then six months later someone says, "Hey, did we ever implement that? It's high priority." And someone up top says, "It's not in the OKRs. Quick; make a chat app so we can shut it down in a year."
