it’s not you it’s the E talking

My girlfriend once asked me…

What happens to files that are deleted forever?

Back then I didn’t knew the answer to that one… Well now I do… :) and it’s quite interesting… thx to tech-pro.net

Deleting
When a file is deleted, it is removed from the file system. However, the actual data is not erased. The directory entry that contains the file name, and which points to the list of clusters on the disk, is simply marked to show it is no longer valid. Right after a file is deleted, nearly all of the information about it, including most of the filename, and the list of clusters that contain the data, still exists.
