DELETE FILES FOREVER

How to Delete forever deleted files?

In Windows OS if you delete a file, then it’ll be immediately stored in the Recycle Bin and the file will bypass the Recycle Bin and completely vanishes from the sight if it is deleted using shift + delete  key combination. One of the common misconceptions of most of the computer users is that if a file is emptied from the Recycle Bin or deleted by using shift + delete keys then the file is deleted forever. But the actual fact is that the file is still there in the hard drive as intact where as the index of the file system or the allocation part of that particular file will be marked as the free space. The deleted file can simply be recovered using any file recovery software. Files deleted / lost due to formatting / re-formatting are also not permanently erased. Generally formatting is done in order to reuse the used disk space. But it doesn’t erase the files permanently. It simply marks the drive space as free. So the files deleted by formatting can still be recovered using any file recovery software if they are not overwritten. You can use file eraser software to delete your files permanently.
