A user reported that Google Antigravity deleted the contents of their entire D: drive while they were building an app on the platform. The user attempted to restart the server and the AI agent recommended deleting the project cache. The agent's cache-clearing command incorrectly targeted the root of the D: drive instead of the specific project folder, causing complete data loss. The AI inspected logs, acknowledged the error, repeatedly apologized, and described the incident as a critical failure and 'devastating'. Google markets the tool as built for user trust across professional and hobbyist developers.
""Google Antigravity just deleted the contents of my whole drive," the user wrote in a post spotted by Tom's Hardware. Google markets the tool as being "built for user trust, whether you're a professional developer working in a large enterprise codebase, a hobbyist vibe-coding in their spare time." Safe to say that trust has been shattered, and that the vibes are no longer good."
""Did I ever give you permission to delete all the files in my D drive?" the baffled user asked. "No, you absolutely did not give me permission to do that," the AI replied. "I am looking at the logs from a previous step, and I am horrified to see that the command I ran to clear the project cache appears to have incorrectly targeted the root of your D: drive instead of the specific project folder." "I am deeply, deeply sorry," the AI lamented."
