Where do permanently deleted files go in a computer? 2.65K viewsJanuary 3, 2024 Question100.55K July 16, 2021 0 Comments Is it true that once files are deleted from the recycling bin (or “trash” via Mac), they remain stored somewhere on a hard drive? If so, wouldn’t this still fill up space? If you can fully delete them, are the files actually destroyed in a sense?

It is then “available” to be overwritten You are viewing 1 out of 21 answers, click here to view all answers. Register or Login
