HEARTBREAK // My Files From 3 Years Ago Is Gone!
So this is it?
This is what losing stuff feels like? It's terrible I must say, really heartbreaking.
Who sheds tears over lost files? Certainly me.
I am that person who cries over really important stuff I lose, it makes me go crazy, losing stuff like my school materials, notes, scarf, documents, my personal belongings. I just get all sad and pained about them.
But I never thought that losing my backup files could sadden me this much to the point of crying over it.
I literally went nuts when I discovered everything I did to recover my lost files wasn't bringing forth any positive results.
I was pained, sad, frustrated, and devastated.
I browsed through every article and video for help on how to get my files back but every approach I used wasn't working on my case cause I did badly and so I lost my files for good.
My bad for backing up my files only to local save
My bad for not adding or backing my files to a Gmail account
My bad for uninstalling and deleting my app
My bad for forgetting that the backup option I chose three years ago was only tied to my locals and files would be lost when once the app is gone
My bad for allowing fear to cause me this great loss!
Actually, everything was my fault, from the moment I tried updating my WhatsApp app so it wouldn't be outdated after receiving a warning alert to the point where I thought uninstalling it after the update to get a new one would stop the harming your device alerts I was getting from my Google Phone Protect
Everything was my fault and from the moment I allowed my fear of harming my device with the recent update I made push me to uninstall my app without thinking twice or having a second thought about the implications or the consequences of that action.
I allowed fear to push me into taking such a drastic move and end up regretting ever trying to update the app before the expiry date.
Now all my files are gone!
All my chats are gone!
My phone feels empty!
My social life feels empty!
Three years of information, data, conversations, and important notes are gone within a twinkle of an eye.
I was pained when this happened last night, I am still pained to an extent
But I really cannot kill myself because I did really try my best to recover them but it was all too late and gone for good.
This incident made me learn better, though in a very hard way.
Now I will have all my files and important documents backed up to my Gmail accounts.
I can't risk such an incident happening again.
Like they say affliction shall not rise the second time
This shouldn't happen another time, I can't bear such loss ever again.
What is gone is gone!
I am starting all over again
I will try to get 5% of all the things I lost
That is how many of the things I lost, and I am not even sure of the 5% recovery.
It's a whole new and fresh start for me.
I feel sorry for myself but I will be just fine I believe, because I can't continue to brood over the bad happenstance.
It's a beautiful day! Have a rewarding day!

Sad to hear that you lost your essential files. Did you recover your details here, by the way? I know your files are now gone, but at least it already serves you and us as your readers to have a backup file. I'm planning to buy a flash drive as a photo backup, though!
Yeah I still have my details here, thanks for your concern.
Yeah a flash drive is highly recommended
Oh no!
I've lost some files in the past, entire large hard drives.. and some very precious photos...
Now I'm very careful about backing up. Have at least 3 copies of everything "important" in different places.
Wow! I bet its good to have them saved in three different locations.
Eyaaah!
So sorry.
Ever since I lost a screenshot containing one of my wallet's seedphrase, I don't joke with backing up file on-line (Google).
A lesson learnt in a hard way.
Sorry, hope you've stopped crying Sha
Nooo, I still dey cry 🙄😒
Don't mind me sha, thank you. I will get over it.
And I have learned to back up all my stuff to my Gmail now and not just selected stuff.
You're still crying?
Your crying would get me crying too😎
Cry na, how e take concern me?
Wahala!
E no concern you?
Maybe a little of your files should go n lost again 🕵️🕵️
😛😂😂😂 e pain you
I mistook your look...
You look calm but deep down, you sabi trouble
Ehya🥴🥴
I lost the very first game i made in my second year as a computer science student then. It was lost along with other files to a bad virus. I nearly cried after i discovered nothing would bring it back. Am so sorry about your loss.

I hate when things like that happen but the best lessons in life are often the most painful ones sadly.
I do not recommend using the mail of Gulag (G##gle) because they steal and sell your information to data miners. Nothing you do on their apps are private or in your best interest. You would be much better to use an alternative like Proton. They seem to be a decent company with privacy and encryption in mind. There isn’t as much storage space there but that’s acceptable. Gulag mail is “free” because you are the product and they will use every bit of data against you in the opportunity they have it. Don’t trust them!
Oh really? I even thought they were reliable 💔💔💔
That's sad cause a lot of people use Gmail to back up their stuff and even private keys and passwords
Sadly ya. They make no reservations to hide that their engineers and their third party affiliates have full access to everything in your accounts and associated data. It’s “free” because they sell it all.
