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:

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.

Why your participation matters (for your own sake too):

Please understand: this isn’t just about my account or my privacy. This is about your data, your private prompts, and your digital footprint . If Google’s backend is intentionally retaining my “deleted” data, they are doing the exact same thing to yours.

In both computer science and law, the highest form of evidence is independent reproducibility .

If I am the only one posting this, Google’s lawyers and PR teams will simply dismiss it as an “isolated glitch,” an “anomaly,” or a “user error.”

But if 10, 50, or 100 developers from different locations, using different accounts, reproduce the exact same JSON-restoration test and upload the official Google recovery email, it transforms from a single complaint into undeniable, systemic, mathematical proof of a global GDPR violation .

Don’t just take my word for it. Break the illusion that we are helpless against these tech giants. Test your own data. See with your own eyes how the “Delete” button is a visual lie designed to pacify you while they keep processing your content in the background.

By posting your screenshot here, you are helping to build a public, open-source evidentiary record. If we do this together, they cannot silence us, and they cannot hide behind the excuse of a “technical bug.” It’s time to hold them accountable.
