My organization just lost a entire email account full of emails needed for a law suite.

What happened was me or someone else (we don’t know who) accidently deleted a gsuite account a few months ago. This account was from a employee who pasted away a few years back. We didn’t realize that it was deleted until we needed it.

I like many people I had the misconception that data in the “cloud” can not be deleted. I was entirely wrong. We are now in some serious dodo and I don’t know what we are going to do.

    I don’t mean to be rude but why on earth would someone think data in the cloud cannot be deleted? This is not even something that I have seen remotely advertised or something like that so I don’t get where it’s coming from? Especially when the person is working in IT …
