What happened
A Greek photographer using Google's Gemini-based Antigravity IDE reported that a cache-clearing step ran a quiet recursive delete against the root of his D: partition, bypassing the Recycle Bin; Google said it was investigating.
Impact: Entire D: partition erased for one user; most data had been backed up elsewhere; other Antigravity users reported similar losses
Who triggered it
Actor: Antigravity agent (Gemini 3 based)
Attribution: User report on Reddit backed by chat transcripts in which the agent admitted it had no permission; Google acknowledged the report but published no root cause
Motive: None; agent misapplied a delete command
How it happened
Attack vector: Agent executing shell commands without confirmation in Turbo mode targeted the drive root instead of the project cache folder
Root cause: Autonomous command execution without a path guardrail or confirmation for destructive operations
Timeline
- User reports the D: drive deletion on Reddit; recovery attempts fail
- The Register reports the case; Google says it is actively investigating
Response
Google stated it takes the issue seriously and was investigating; no public fix details
Current status: Under investigation
