What Really Happens When You Hit Delete?


What does ‘delete’ mean?

Many users are still convinced that when they delete a document or file on their computer, it vanishes into thin air -- but that’s hardly the case.

As “Sam,” a security engineer who wishes to remain anonymous because of the nature of his job, explains: “When a user ‘deletes’ a file, it's not really gone. Deleted files are sent to the Trash folder. At this point, files can still be recovered.” However, even if the Trash folder is emptied, it doesn’t mean the file has disappeared completely. “But the longer a deleted file is left on a drive, the greater the chance the file cannot be recovered,” Sam says.
