How to know someone if deleted a file?
Hi everyone,
I had a very disturbing instance where someone I knew took unsolicited photos of me, put them in a folder on their account with my name on it, shared it to me and captioned it.
I immediately told him to delete the photos and he said he did. However, when I go back to the email he sent me with the link - I can still see that the photos are still there and they were not deleted like he said. The time stamp beneath the photos when I initially got them said ‘modified 3 days ago’. This was four days ago now as I write this. I clicked on the album and it now says ‘modified a week ago’.
He insists he deleted them. But I do not believe them since I can still refresh the folder and the timestamp changes.
How can I confirm the photos are deleted or get his account disabled so I know that he didn’t move these photos to a new folder?

Hi cambam98, let's jump right into this!
You mentioned that he shared the content with you. Did he use a shared link or shared folder?
In any case, had he deleted the pictures inside the folder or the link, that should have been reflected on your end too.
He could have moved the photos to a different folder, however as far as disabling his account, if he isn't going against our Term of Service, I'm not sure we could interfere.
If you have any questions, let me know!
