No, that post says the file is "marked with special metadata" - it does not say that is is only metadata.
So my theory is that Google Drive file = full chat log + metadata. The only server where the chat log is stored is Google Drive one. Deleting Google Drive file deletes the chat log. Recovering Google Drive file recovers the chat log. Not recovering Google Drive file means it's eventually purged. The link thing means that chat can be accessed even when it's in the trash can.
Have you went to Google Drive and checked the sizes of those files? If they are the links, they should all be the same. If they are raw data, they should be smaller for older files and bigger for newer files. Please check and report.
Also, download the file and open it in editor. Does it has your messages, or does it only has a pointer?

- Bitu79 2mo agoGoogle’s own engineer stated that the file stored in Drive is not the actual chat, but only a JSON pointer that is linked to the server-side conversation through special metadata. When you download and re-upload it, the metadata is lost, so AI Studio cannot recognize it anymore. This proves that the conversation is not inside the JSON file but remains on Google’s servers even if you delete it from Drive or empty the trash. The Studio interface lies when it says “there is no such prompt,” because the prompt continues to exist on the server. This is not my claim — it is written by Google’s engineer. https://archive.ph/ghAaS https://archive.ph/ghAaS https://discuss.ai.google.dev/t/noyb-has-contacted-me-google-should-start-sweating/175667/7 https://discuss.ai.google.dev/t/noyb-has-contacted-me-google...
