[QUOTE="6string, post: 1132665, member: 120039"] Printerman answered this here: Straight from Apple: So what this means, is that once you delete stuff, when using your computer, the space starts getting overwritten. The more you use you Mac after deleting items the more the free space is overwritten. So, for instance, if you were to accidentally delete something, and you wanted to retrieve it using data recovery software, or professional data recovery technicians, it is crucial that you don't use your computer in order to have the best success rate in recovery.
