What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.open a image editing application (I used google snapseed)
2.open an image on my chromebook from SD card,downloads,online,etc
3.double exposure edit feature
4.voila can see the images, these images are from FEB 22, so it's been sitting on my chromebook for the past month
What is the expected result?
Powerwashed chromebook did not delete old photos from past versions
What happens instead of that?
images are stored on device
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
For some reason I cannot find the file when I try to access once I select outside of recent but using file manager I was able to find the location of image 1(the one with 2 women standing in front of mirror) but cannot find images 2,3,4 (red grainy island and a man in a suit) anywhere!
This would be a security flaw if it's stored on my internals.

Powerwash destroys all the data stored on the chromebook, nothing survives. But if you are using the same account to sign in some data is restored from online. When you edited your photo it eventually ended up in Google Drive or Google Photos, and now it shows up in recents. Also Drive may preemptively cache some files if it thinks there is a high chance the user will try to open them soon, so some of them may be stored on your chromebook while others are not. |
