[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 376241, member: 2960"] Exactly. I have said it before, too many people watch CSI and other shows of that ilk and then get the idea that any and all deleted data can be recovered in an instant. The truth is, once data is deleted it is very rarely recovered in its entirety. Law enforcement organizations can sometimes recover enough data to be useful to them, but it isn't like we see on TV shows. The average user will simply lose his data once it is deleted. The softwares that guarantee 100% full recovery are the ones that must be installed [I]before[/I] you delete things. This is because all they do is keep a ghost file copy of your data in a 'hidden' folder on your hard drive. That way when you "delete" something and then use the software to "recover" it, the software merely uses the backup it created to replace what you thought you "deleted". [/QUOTE]
