dis question is smhw funy 2 me sha. It is jst like asking wre do pencil writeup u used earaser 2 clean, whre does d writup go? Or say, wen u ar typin on ur computer nd press d back button 2 delete wht u hav typed, whe do dey go?

If you delete a file, the computer will just delete the file register, so the file is still on the hard drive. Ever wonder why deleting 10GB file takes only seconds,? This is because only the file register is deleted.

Your computer knows where files are physically located on your hard disk by looking up their location in a sort of table of contents.

So when you empty your recycling bin, the files are still physically present on your hard disk, but your operating system (OS; e.g. Windows, Linux, etc.) erases the record of the file's existence from the table of contents.

The physical location on your hard disk that your deleted file used to take up (and still is taking up until the data is over-written by another file) now looks like free space to your OS and other files can use that space.

But there are programs that do a sort of reverse process in which they first go to the physical hard disk and read the files. Then they record the files' locations in the table of contents so that the files "exist" again and the OS knows of their "existence". This is what "data" recovery is; re-writing the table of contents if it is accidentally erased.

nice questions

To recover files from mobiles phone follow these steps 1. download and install easeus data recovery software on your computer. 2. Connect your phone to your computer via usb. 3. Run easeus as admi and locate your phone drive within easeus interface. 4. Select the types of files you want to recover eg setup,documents,music etc 5. Select quick recovery or complete recovery. Quick recovery recovers files faster but not effective as complete recovery. Same procedure applies to flash drive, memory card etc.
