Continuing with my recent #privacy kick, I've been deleting the last 20+ years of digital photos from Google Photos. This was my final repository of unencrypted private data in the cloud.
It turned out to be quite a project, since Google doesn't provide a straightforward way to bulk delete photos. I ended up using this script: https://github.com/mrishab/google-photos-delete-tool
It's been running for days. I think it will finish today.

They probably still have your photos, but want you to think they're deleted. Sort of like how Android's tracking service is still on even if you turn it off.
