When u delete on modern operating system it basically just make not visible to the user, until the space gets allocated for a new file randomly.

Scary part delete files sell your laptop. Someone can use software to just find anything still marked as deleted, but wasn’t overwritten.

If you do a true delete, it will take much longer time, and put more wear on the storage device.
