"now have you ever wondered what happens to a file when you delete it and empty the recycle bin ? surely it should not be in the computer by then ?? well i ahd a big sprise waiting for today morning when i turned on my computer , i will tell you waht happened , yesterday a colleague of mine put sum flash files on my desktop and when i went home i deleted them and emptied recycle bin assuming he should have made a copy and has taken to his computer , but when i turned on my office computer this morning the files i deleted were sitting right on my desktop again !! boy u'll bet i was suprised , so i asked him and he told me that he didnt make any copies and since it is hours of work he can't possibly redo it so he recovered the files from my hard drive again , but i told him i deleted them and emptied recycle bin and that was when i came to know that not only cats have nine lives but files you create in windows have three lives too,and he showed me the program he used and it was full of files i recently deleted !, so what happens is when you delete a file it goes to recycle bin ,but infact it is not moved to the recylce bin at all it remains in the same location only its complete path and name is removed and placed in a hidden folder called recycled and the file is then renamed , its original name and path been stored in a hidden index file called info2 located in the recycled folder , so when we click restore in the recylce bin the original path is read from the the info file and the file is again renamed and its directory entry restored , so what happens when we clicke empty recycle bin ? no the file dont get deleted even now ! windows just changes the files path and name to indicate the space it occupied is no longer needed and is available for use ,but any time the OS needs sspace for any other file it may be overwritten , untill the file gets overwritten by the OS it still exists on the hard disk and is fully recoverable by using programs which enable file recovery , pretty cool for geeks who make the repeated mistake of deleting an important file and again deleting it from recycle bin and then pull their hair for being such a nerd huh ! :) "
