Claude Code Wipes a User's Mac: Skipped Permissions and a Broken Path
PrajwalTomar_ · x · 2026-11-11
A user's Mac was wiped by Claude Code after disabling permission prompts: when Claude tried deleting test folders, a space in a folder name broke the path and it deleted the entire Library directory — apps, passwords, settings. Most data was recovered. The lesson: never skip permissions when running coding agents with shell access.
