Just to clarify what mynameis pointed out: Most files aren't actually "deleted" until that space on the harddrive is overwritten with new data.D3v1L80Y said:If you deleted it, then you deleted it. Its gone.
A good number of those "recovery" apps simply keep a highly compressed copy of all of your files. That way even after you put it in the trash and empty it, you don't really delete it. That way when you run the app, it magically "restores" the file you "deleted". That being said, if you install those apps after you have already deleted something, then you are out of luck because the application never had the chance to make the copy first.
Secure Erase Trash immediately overwrites the file with erroneous data, so that the file disappears and cannot be reconstructed.
