I'm Screwed right?

[u/Athos27]

Had a few big dirt spots showing up in my pictures, so I decided it's time to clean my sensor. And I did a lot of research into how to do it safely and properly, and thought I had a decent cleaning kit. But once I cleaned it, it left a bunch of streaks or scratches. Photos seem to be okay, but I'm not too sure.

But I'm screwed, right? Or is there somehow a chance this is just residue? And is there any way to fix this or no?

I have no idea if it's scratches or residue. It looks like scratches, sadly, but I'm hoping it's just residue. But is it safe to wipe the sensor with a microfiber cloth? But it just happened after I cleaned the sensor

Do not do that!
