"On July 23, 2025, AWS deleted my 10-year-old account and every byte of data I
had stored with them. No warning. No grace period. No recovery options. Just
complete digital annihilation.

This is the story of a catastrophic internal mistake at AWS MENA, a 20-day
support nightmare where I couldn’t get a straight answer to “Does my data still
exist?”, and what it reveals about trusting cloud providers with your data."
