[QUOTE="FactChecker, post: 6853572, member: 500115"] It can still be retrieved unless serious efforts were made to erase the data. Certainly, the FBI has tools to recover files that were simply modified once and deleted. I don't know who else would have those recovery tools. Yes, it makes it harder. A casual effort would not recover the data. But If you want to do a better job of erasing data, I recommend using a tool like Eraser by Heidi. It will overwrite a file several times with random bits. There are several options for overwriting the files: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1676068170888.png"]322070[/ATTACH] A final option is the total physical destruction of the drive. [/QUOTE]
