where do files go

[G]

when I delete files do the actually dissapear? Or are
they still in the hard drive somewhere. Can they be
recovered?

Hi

They are still on the hard disk - you may be able to recover them:

Deleted files go into the Recycle Bin. Do yourself a favor and don't be so
quick to empty the recycle bin and you won't have to worry about recovering
deleted files.

The space they occupy are marked as writable. The data is still there
until other data is written in that space. The data can be recovered as
long as no other data has written over it. That is way we usually
recommend that if you ddelete a file that you want back. you stop using
the computer until you can recover the data.
