How does it physically “forget” whatever coded form it held my word document in for example?
In: Technology
In the case of data on a mechanically hardrive it has to write new information into the specific block that the current info is in, other wise it simply marks that space as containing deleted information so that when it needs a place to write more info, it knows that is available and can overwrite the info there.
The info even if marked for deletion is still recoverable until new info is written in that block
