When you delete a file the file is not actually deleted. It&#8217;s just the entry in the index pointing to the file&#8217;s actual location that is deleted. The file itself is left untouched but subsequent work you do on the PC could overwrite the location where the file was so it&#8217;s important to minimise any amateur attempts at data recovery. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is something we&#8217;ve stressed many times at Darknet as any old $29.95 undelete tool can recover these files easily.<\/p>\n<p>The important part of the article is the part about what mistakes you can make, this is crucial if you wish to save your data integrity in case of a failure.<\/p>\n<p>I do find the design of the page a little plain (it looks like something designed in 1997) and the pink and light blue colour scheme jars my eyes a little.<\/p>\n<p>The info is laid out clearly though and the site is easy to navigate, which is a good thing.<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense#New468--><\/p>\n<p>You can read more about <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Data_recovery\">Data Recovery at Wiki here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad] Data recovery is an important subject and it&#8217;s definitely a good thing to have a positive understanding of data recovery and how it could effort you personally or your business.
