I bought a 3d printer off Ebay which got delivered not too long ago, and it came with 2 sd cards - one with a build video and some demo print files, but worryingly another card that has all the previous owner’s personal files on there.

Not sure whether to format it, or to contact the seller offering to send the card back (free of charge)… how would you prefer to be approached in a similar situation?

Edit: No gcode files are on the card, just 30gb of pictures, music and videos. Sent the seller a message offering to upload it to cloud or to send the card back

    Upload the files to google drive or the like, send the seller a message with the link and an explanation. Give them 14 days to download it. Delete files.

    Idk how big these files are. Too big and my idea won’t work

      I wouldn’t upload my own files to the cloud, and in turn I wouldn’t upload someone else’s without their consent.

      It might have passwords, personal financial data, corporate trade secrets, health data, child porn—any number of cans of worms.
