42 "**Operating systems do not actually remove the contents of a file when it is\n"
43 "deleted**, even after emptying the trash or explicitly removing the file, from\n"
44 "the command line for example.\n"
49 "Instead, they simply remove the file's entry from the file system directory, "
50 "because this requires less work and is therefore faster. The contents of the "
51 "file—the actual data—remain on the storage medium. The data will remain "
52 "there until the operating system reuses the space for new data."
57 "Likewise, reformatting, repartitioning or reimaging a system is not always "
58 "guaranteed to write to every area of the disk, though all will cause the "
59 "disk to appear empty or, in the case of reimaging, empty except for the "
60 "files present in the image, to most software."
65 "Finally, even when the storage medium is overwritten, physical properties of "
66 "the medium may make it possible to recover the previous contents. In most "
67 "cases however, this recovery is not possible by just reading from the "
68 "storage device in the usual way, but requires using laboratory techniques "
69 "such as disassembling the device and directly accessing/reading from its "
