Deleted Isn't Gone

Deleting a file usually just erases its address, not its contents

You deleted a photo and emptied the trash. Gone for good, right? Then how do recovery tools keep bringing files back from 'empty' disks?

You'll find out

  • What delete actually erases
  • How a lost photo gets found again
  • Why phones play by other rules

Why it matters

Selling a laptop or trading in a phone? Know what's still on it, and how to make sure nobody else can read it.
