This won’t really delete your files from your computer 🤯
AI Summary
When you delete a file, the data isn’t actually erased; instead, the pointer that indicates where the file was stored is removed. This means the file remains on the drive until overwritten. This is particularly important for SSDs (solid-state drives), which mark deleted files as free but do not immediately erase the data. Consequently, deleted files can often be recovered using forensic tools, highlighting that ‘delete’ doesn’t mean ‘destroy’—it merely clears the index while the data lingers.
