An Apple Photos glitch, now fixed, is a reminder that digital bits of your life will live on forever.
Last week, an alarming complaint popped up from iPhone owners on Reddit and elsewhere: Old photos, long since deleted, had resurfaced in their Photos app. Vacations, nudes, concerts, all unexpectedly returned like an unwelcome Pet Sematary cat. Today Apple finally acknowledged the bug and pushed out a fix. But the incident underscores a forgotten truth of memories in the digital age. Deletion is a myth, or at the very least a little white lie.

You rent it from giant tech companies, every month, often for a fee, and the way that cloud operates isn’t remotely local. You can still delete your photos from the cloud, but you’re taking on faith that it actually happens. “At a conceptual level the hard disk and cloud work the same,” Wardle says. “The cloud is just someone else’s computer.
