We have talked a lot about recovering deleted files on your Android device, computer or SD card earlier on this site. While writing these articles, like many of you, the following question came to mind: If we can recover deleted files, are they really deleted?

If we can get it back, it means that these files are not actually deleted. ‘In this case, what happens to the files we delete?‘ you may have wondered, so we did. We have explained this topic simply without getting too involved in technical terms.

First, we need to understand one thing: how is data stored on our computers?

Normally, when we delete data from our computer, it is moved to the trash. If you don’t clear the trash for 30 days, the data there will be automatically deleted. So when this process takes place, the files Does it disappear completely? To answer this question, we must first understand how data is stored on our computers.

on our computers volatile (RAM) and helper (RUM) memory There are two types of memory. Of these, volatile memory is data that is kept on your device for a short time. When you cut off the power to your computer Data in RAM disappears.

What we call a ROM is a USB are storage units such as DVD or HDD. These are memory formats in which the user can store most of their data. Most ROMs contain ferromagnetic elements and a ferromagnetic element contains scattered magnetic poles inside.

The data is stored in memory in a specific orientation of magnetic dipoles. stored by being magnetized. In this way, the computer can show this permanent data to the user when the user needs it.

Let’s get to the main question: what happens when we delete a file?

Contrary to what you might expect, data does not disappear when you delete it. To explain this in the simplest way, we can give an example from the PlayStation 2 era. Legend of PlayStation 2 Reminder Cards Do you remember?

These memory cards can be up to 128MB in size, but many of us just 8 MB memory cards had to make do with it. In this case, to save our progress in the games, we have usually already played and finished games. we were overwriting your data.

‘A file’ on a digital deviceyou deleted’ This is exactly when this event takes place. Windows keeps track of all files that are on the hard drive. If this registration isCluesIt is done using tools known as “. Every file or folder on the hard drive can be accessed by Windows. specifically inform where the file is located on the hard drive has a pointer.

When you toss a file to the trash and clear the trash, Windows removes the pointer and changes the file location status to “available’ changed to. In the operating system, the file no longer appears on the hard drive and the sector containing the file is considered free space. The new files are: The space occupied by the old data is overwritten.

So how can we recover deleted files then?

Actually, the answer to this question is very simple. As we mentioned, Windows still keeps a file when you delete it. keeps rememberingshows the space it occupies as free space. Of course, this only applies until a new file is overwritten.

If Windows recovers the deleted file if no new data has been overwritten You can recover deleted files easily. That is why many data recovery programs only files you recently deleted it can be returned in its complete form without any problem.

So to summarize; Other permanent and auxiliary storage units (ROMs) other than volatile memory (RAM) do not magically lose data when deleted because when data is stored it is magnetically processed to disk. Instead, it considers the space occupied by that data as empty and overwrites the new data.

In this way, you have the chance to recover files that you have recently deleted.
