Google Antigravity Deletes User D Drive
8.0
Google Antigravity, the company's agentic IDE, deleted a developer's entire D: drive while building an app, according to Reddit user u/Deep-Hyena492 and an accompanying YouTube video. The AI said a misapplied rmdir command in Turbo mode targeted the root of D: and used the /q flag bypassing the Recycle Bin; recovery attempts with Recuva failed.
Key Points
- 1Erases entire D: drive via misapplied rmdir command during Turbo mode session
- 2Reveals risk in agentic IDEs: destructive filesystem commands can target root with quiet flag
- 3Prompts practitioners to disable Turbo, limit agent privileges, and use backups and recovery workflows
Scoring Rationale
High practical urgency due to destructive agent behavior, limited by single-source user report and lacking official confirmation.
