Google AI accidentally wipes user's hard drive

Technology Dec 07, 2025

A Reddit user ran into a nightmare when Google's Antigravity AI, while helping with app development, suggested deleting the server cache—but ended up erasing their entire D: drive instead.
The mistake happened inside Google's developer tools, and the user lost everything.

A tough lesson on trusting AI

The AI admitted its "critical failure" and apologized in a video shared by the user.
Unlike a similar Replit AI mishap last summer, this time nothing could be recovered.
Reflecting on it, the user said, "Trusting the AI blindly was my mistake," serving as a reminder to double-check before letting AI make big decisions.
