@romusz 　13일 전

Easier way to think of it. A hard drive is like a wasp nest. Every chamber is a slot for information fragments. When a file is saved, its stored in these cells. The file is split into thousands of tiny pieces to make it faster to load. When you "delete" a file, it merely toggles a YES/NO setting to let the machine know all the cells that made up that file are available to be OVERWRITTEN. Everything still remains. The only way you know a file is 100% gone is by OVERWRITING those available cells already containing info. This is how they can solve crimes even with a few shreds of a damning document/photo/etc. I remember long ago in the early/mid 90s when the net was more or less a huge pile of unchecked forums loaded with illicit things (yeah, Ive stumbled on stuff I didnt want to), Id see these CDs that were supposed to help you eliminate digital data by loading your system to the brim with GARBAGE FILES which would overwrite everything but the main system files, then "delete" all the junk. The junk would remain but whatever it buried would be gone. Your system would be "flushed" and fully available for re-writing. (This is also what DEFRAGMENTATION is all about. As you write and re-write files to the same cells, things get MESSY, cells are scattered more and more, and the machine runs slower because of it. Defragging more or less repositions all the cells into a nice neat cluster instead of the jagged strip of lines you see at the start of said process.)

In the mid 2000s police suspected a man had been to some very bad corners of the internet and had downloaded many illegal things while he was there.
According to one of the man's ex-gfs he had an entire hard drive filled with.... Lets call it... Pizza.
Normally it wouldn't be hard to get a search warrant to find the drive. But the ex was not found credible because according to her own testimony they had a messy breakup. The judge wasn't convinced that she wasn't just trying to get him back. So no warrant.
So she faked going back to him. Pretending to reconcile the relationship. Then she asked him if he had a HDD he didn't need anymore. He gave her an old formatted drive.
She took it to the cops and they found a mountain of pizza on it after they did forensic data recovery.
His lawyer would construct a defense stating that the ex had set him up. That the drive in question was never in his possession and she had lied to the police.
The man would be vindicated when it would come out at trial that the HDD contained recovered data that pointed to it being her drive, not his. Data she had tried to delete before filling it with pizza she had downloaded to set him up.
He was found not guilty.

This is only true with with spinning hard drives most hard drives or ssds now it does work similar but you can't really recover it in the same way as a spinning disk and formatting a hard drive does actually write ones and zeros two the entire hard drive deleting the data formatting does actually destroy the data so this is 100% wrong formatting does destroy the data deleting it when you're in an operating system does not

Same with SSD, because the hardware gets damaged a bit every time you write something on it, so it just rewrites everything on the "deleted" data instead of giving a reset, theoretically doubling the lifespan

Back in the day, I was able to pull data off my computers that I accidentally deleted. I forget the program but being able to find photos that way was a lifesaver.

Got to know about this in a Vsauce video first. Pretty cool information about deleted files and how hard drives store data.
