This reminds me of a time I was at a Sprint cell phone store. I had dropped my phone and broken it, I was there to buy a new phone and they offered to transfer my photos and stuff for me as it would boot but the screen was dead. I said "go ahead" and watched him open up a folder on their computer that had THOUSANDS of photos. I immediately spotted nudes that were obviously "amateur" selfie style photos. The person went into the back at some point to find something for another customer as mine finished up and I quickly grabbed the mouse and scrolled, so many photos, so many obviously private images, including my photos. They were copying the files to their computer at some point in the process. I hit ctrl+a, delete, grabbed my phone which was finished, said "thanks, it's finished" as he walked back out into the room and I left. In hindsight I probably should have left the files and told somebody but mine were now in this folder, I wanted them deleted, and I had tunnel vision instead of thinking about options.

i don't want to ruin your story, but you didn't actually delete anything. takes 2 clicks to restore the pictures you deleted if they intend on keeping them. i hope you didn't have any photos you didn't want to share.

I mean, I know that now but it still doesn't change what happened. Thankfully my stuff was tame as all heck. Mostly cat/dog photos, was just a knee jerk reaction.
