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?
In: Technology
They don’t go anywhere. In the hard drives file system they’re simply market with a 1 or 0 which denotes deleted.
They’re still there and can be recovered until that spot in said hard drive is saved over by another file.
