Why your data still exists on the hard drive even after deletion?

When we delete a file and empty the recycle bin, windows operating system will not delete the data instead it will just remove the link to data from the file system and mark the disk space occupied by the deleted file as available for use by new files. The actual contents of the file are still physically present on the hard disk until overwritten by new data.

This results in a serious security problem if you have sensitive data on your computer. Since data does not get permanently deleted, they can be restored using data recovery software tools.

In order to delete file beyond recovery, we need to use a Disk Eraser to erase the files securely so that it may never be recovered. A file shredder utility can ensure file or folder deletion beyond recovery.

The structure of digital photo creation and storage

Admin — Wed, 27 May 2009 19:49:57 +0000

When one takes a photograph using a film type camera the light reflected off of the object being photographed is burned onto the film inside the camera. The lens and aperture precisely control this light so that the film can properly gradient the reflection of the image.

A digital camera works much the same way except that once the reflected image is captured on to hardware as opposed to a piece of film that image must be translated into a coded format. As with all digital information, it is stored as a series of zeros and ones. The structure of these determines the specific code being used. What makes this interesting is that the various digital camera manufacturers choose not to standardize their coding and each brand of high-end digital camera saves files in its own RAW files format, which makes the process to recover digital photos lost in a camera especially challenging.
