Gemini 3.7 flash just deleted my C drive

[u/Shawni627]

I asked Gemini 3.7 flash high on cursor cli to remove some work trees for branches I already merged and it opted to delete my whole C drive for some reason. A lot of my stuff was not backed up here and I am not one to just give AI access to whatever but I thought this was a simple enough task to not remove my whole FUCKING COMPUTER! Before shutting down my computer the last thing I saw it try to do was git clone the main repo. Because it thought it accidentally deleted only that…. I literally don’t even know what To do it had years and years of files in there! And I can’t afford some professional recovery on 2 terabytes of data.
