I read on the internet that is impossible to really delete files from your PC and Phone. Everything can be recovered with special software.

Does this mean that drives technically have infinite space? Can I just keep deleting and recovering when needed instead of buying new ssds?

yes and i have the special software that i'm booting up to view your deepest darkest secrets

its not infinite its just recycled

when you delete it data it just removes the label your drive uses to locate data

so it overrides over and over again without the label to stop it.

If you recover data its like layered and might not/be usable depending on how many layers are on top of the data you seek

>>936728142 (OP)
all deleting a file does is mark that space to write to again, the data is still there, so it's only recoverable until a another file writes over the space that was freed up

You can just go to a professional to make a deep scan of all your storage devices and they are going to tell you it is all gone

>>936728874
that is not true

>>936728874
You sure?

The DoD standard for "cleaning" electronic storage used to require seven cycles of;
1) overwrite all bits with 0.
2) overwrite all bits with 1.
3) overwrite all bits with randomised data (0/1)

Unless they physically dismantle a drive and forensically scan for "burn in" (not always present) using specialist equipment similar to electron microscopes, enough cycles of overwriting a drive can make whatever was on it irrecoverable.

This is false. What happens when you "delete" something is that the space it occupies is marked as useable by something else; it'll get overwritten if you just download other shit that needs the real estate.

There is software for deleting files "proper"

a computer hard drive only has the physical space required to store data, but the logical space allocated for the files could potentially hold infinity

Oh, here we go...........

I mean, you can write exabytes of data to a 1GB drive, just don't expect to be able to retrieve what you wrote

Maybe you're the spark I've been waiting for tonight.

Want a little tease? Ask me nicely.
