hello if i save data on my computer and delete it and delete it then from recycle bin does the data still take memory like is it still on the hardrive after i delete or even reinstall windows xp?
even after you delete data from your recycle bin or even format your hdd the data still remains however those sectors are marked to be overwritten so that hdd space is still classified as availble in the basic form that means that once somthing is deleted that hdd space becomes available
so i still get the space back after i delet something? also do hardrives need to be replaced eventually?
