Did you know that files you have previously deleted are not actually removed from your computer, and can easily be seen, retrieved and viewed?. Windows Operating System does not remove deleted files, they remain and kept in a hidden area on your hard drive and can be easily recovered and retrieved exposing your privacy and security. Everything you have erased in the past including any file, movie, clip, document, financial information, private information, contact information, web history, pictures and images, programs, e-mails, cookies, spyware/adware and anything else you have previously deleted, still remain on your hard disk. Windows marks files for deletion and removes them from the file system database when you delete them. This doesn't mean they are immediately gone. In fact, all that initially happens when you delete a file is Windows makes note that the space occupied by the file is listed as available space for writing new information. Until something new is written to the part of the drive where that old file was stored, your file is still there. Depending on how many sectors that file occupies, pieces of the file could be find on drive for a very long time. If you very recently deleted the file, there's an excellent chance you will recover it, especially if you haven't downloaded a bunch of new files or created several gigabytes of data. The trick is finding the right tool to recover them back.
