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
Deleting a file is like crossing it out on a books table of contents and saying you can rewrite on that page again. The data is still there and can now be overwritten since it’s reference is gone. Over time those pages do get used partially by other things which is why when you try to undelete stuff you sometimes get half of an image etc.
