The fact behind deleted data recovery
The real facts behind deletion of files has not yet been completely understood by most of the PC users around the world. A classic example of this, is the myth that the users have about permanent erasure of data from their hard drives.
Deletion of the file is not the end of the file. it just marks the beginning of the end of a file. As a first step towards permanent deletion, the file first goes and sits in the Recycle Bin. So your data is still intact, but at some other location. In the next step, you might end up deleting the file from the Recycle Bin, which makes it disappear from the Recycle Bin, but not entirely from the hard drive. This is because, when a file gets deleted, only the pointer to the file is deleted, but not the data. This is definitely a cause for concern because this data has high probability of being overwritten, since it has been marked as free space.
The efficiency of an OS depends greatly on the number of tasks it has to perform, and the pace at which, the OS is successful in completing all these tasks. As the OS is busy performing tasks that are much more crucial than a simple task of deleting a file, it keeps the deletion task for a later time.
To make things simpler for the OS, this kind of mechanism has been developed. REMO Recover (Windows) Basic Edition software is powerful in locating and retrieving these files, and hence lets you recover files from emptied recycle bin, with ease.
