I just want to make sure I'm not permanently deleting files I want to keep on my laptop. If I move those 10 files from the Recent folder to the Trash folder & then delete them from the Google Trash folder will the 10 file also be deleted off the C: drive? That would see crazy if true. I open each one up 1 time so they show up as 'recent' files in Google Drive. If you are not, pick that account from the. Check that you are logged in with your account. Go to Click your photo (or the generic human icon) at the right end of the Google toolbar. It only removes AppStream's access to them. I did some research & I saw posts saying permanently deleting the files from the Google Drive 'Trash' folder would permanently delete the actual files! Is that true?! So let’s say I have 10 pictures on my laptop C: drive & they are synced with Google Drive. This will not affect or delete any files stored in your Google Drive.
I thought they were just reminders like cookies or bowser histories pointing to the files I opened recently. When I got to the “Recent” folder it has 100's of files. I was removing everything I could in the My Drive, Computer folders. I'm trying to organize my Google Drive (online not on the phone app) as it’s a mess currently.
