Before we sell our computer, we will delete our personal data and format the disk drive to quickly remove the private information on the computer. However, the deleted data is not erased. When we delete files on a computer and empty recycle bin, the system only deletes the entry of the files and makes the disk space of the deleted files be available for new files. Before the deleted files are overwritten by new files completely, they can be easily recovered.
It means the deleted files are not lost for good and can be recover by other person. It will become more dangerous if the deleted files are retrieved by hackers or suspicious users.
There are many methods to recover deleted files from emptied recycle bin, Windows, Mac, HDD, SSD, USB flash drive, memory card, digital camera, etc. Data recovery software is the most reliable way to undelete files or recover files from a formatted hard drive. It means anyone else including hackers or thieves can simply download a data recovery program and then run it to recover deleted files from our hard drives or digital devices.
