In layman's terms: The sectors of the hard disk that contain the data that
makes up the deleted files is marked as available space in the operating
system and drive. The files are still there on the disk but are now
invisible to the OS. Usually the file names have their first letter changed
to an underscore. That's why you can use data recovery software to retrieve
deleted files. Unless the sectors have been re-written over by new files,
the data is still intact.
well every one know that data in a computer can be deleted like right
click on the file etc...,and click delete or else select a file and
press shift+delete
But what happens to that data that is deleted i mean where does that
data goes what happens to that data.
now a days after deleting a data or file etc it can be gained how can
that is done ?
