When you delete a file from your computer, it moves to the Windows Recycle Bin. You empty the Recycle Bin and the file is permanently erased from the hard drive. Right?
The file seems to have been deleted but a skilled techie may have no trouble restoring that "deleted" file using data recovery software – some of which are freely available online. Here’s why:
To permanently erase files and prevent your confidential files from getting into wrong hands, Microsoft offers a free command line utility – SDelete (Secure Delete) – that overwrites all the free space to prevent data recovery.
You can use SDelete both to securely delete existing files (replacement of delete), as well as to securely
erase any file data that exists in the unallocated portions of a disk (including files that you have already deleted or encrypted)
