Prior to leaving my former employer, I sent to my personal email a powerpoint presentation that I wanted to use for studying and upskilling while on a break. There is no company confidential data there and I wouldn't use it in my new role, however, I learned upon starting in my new employer that anything from previous employers can be considered data theft.
What should I do now? Is this data theft? Will my previous employer definitely sue me?
I am afraid of coming forward and getting punished, but I am also afraid that if I don't come forward the former employer might look at my activity and see a problem with it.
Any help here from specialists that have seen such scenarios?

Whether it was illegal or if it was intellectual property is entirely up to your previous employer, not your current employer.

This is true, but I am afraid my previous employer might notify the current one too. I am in a conundrum: if I come forward, I might be punished. If I keep quiet and my previous employer notices, I also might be punished. What should I do?

You took a copy of a powerpoint presentation.
What you can do now is delete your copy.
I don't see how your previous employer could learn of your copy unless you tell them. And even if they did, I seriously doubt they would sue you.

I'm assuming that it was sent from a corporate email account to the personal account - so there would be a record (and attachment) within the Exchange server database.
