How File Deletion Works



Whenever you move a file to recycle bin or permanently delete a file the file is actually not deleted from the hard-disk instead that file space is marked as free by the operating system so that new files can be written at that space.So, if no new file is written at that place then you can recover the file easily but if you have placed some data in that particular drive then it is possible that the data be written on the same location from where you have deleted your file. It will make the data recovery difficult or impossible. 

Note:- Do not put any new data on the Drive from which you have to recover you data because it may hamper your data recovery chances.


This method works on windows platform and is completely free.
