What Pixar movie was almost lost forever when someone accidentally deleted it?
We've all done it — closed the wrong browser window, saved over the wrong thing, or replied to the wrong email. But I highly doubt any of your workplace blunders compare to what nearly happened to this beloved Pixar movie.
As one of the most successful and loved animated film companies to have ever existed, I can only imagine the Slack emojis that exist at Pixar. And I very much wonder which one was used when someone had to let their boss know how they deleted a movie.

Correct Answer: Toy Story 2
The answer is: Toy Story 2. An unnamed Pixar employee was doing some routine file maintenance and accidentally deleted the root file of Toy Story 2, resulting in 90% of the finished movie and all its assets being permanently wiped from Pixar’s servers. Fortunately, the film’s supervising technical director, Galyn Susman, was working from home and had a copy. She wrapped her computer up in a blanket and drove it safely to the office in her car that’s since been nicknamed the $100,000,000 Volvo.Source
