Deleting Files Doesn’t Actually Delete.
True, In operating systems like Windows, deleting a file and removing it from the recycling bin does not actually remove the data of that file from the disk. What happens is that the reference to the file’s data is removed from a large table of information that the computer uses to track files on the disk. Removing a simple reference is much faster than trying to wipe out all of the data from a file. Eventually, the file’s data will be overwritten by other files you add to the system.
