I imported files containing illegal csam without being made aware until a few days later, when I found out I deleted the storage app. I panicked,I didn't delete the actual storage files of CSAM itself. Once I realized a few days later I should have done that, it was too late and my ip was reported to the authorities, it's been almost two weeks since it happened.
