HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHERE DOES IT GO WHEN YOU DELETE THINGS FROM YOUR DEVICE?

 HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHERE DOES IT GO WHEN YOU DELETE THINGS FROM YOUR DEVICE?

In the digital world, your personal information can fall into the hands of unscrupulous people if your information or belongings are not completely deleted from the phone or computer.

According to the 2023 report of the Data Security Council of India, more than 40 percent of devices that were discarded without complete data deletion contained confidential user information, which can lead to cybercrime.

Have You Ever Thought About Where The Things You Delete From Your Device Go?

Technology experts say, nothing is erased in the world, especially in the field of technology...

That is, how? For example, you took a picture of something and said you deleted it from your phone, the picture can no longer be seen, but it is still stored in the internal storage of your device, you are told that experts can restore it if they get access to your device. This is why there are special programs that can recover deleted items.

The question to ask is Why Files Are Not Deleted Automatically?

The main reason is efficiency. Your phone or PC does not remove the deleted files or data directly, because the process takes longer.

Instead the space remains open for new uses of other data. This method also provides an opportunity to recover accidentally deleted items.

But this situation is different in the form of HDD ie (Hard Disk Drive) and SSD (Solid State Drive).

Objects deleted through HDD (HARD DISK DRIVE) can be easily recovered using data recovery software.

However through the SSD system (Solid State Drive), the situation is different. SSDs use a special process called TRIM, which erases data immediately to improve the speed and efficiency of the device. On the other hand, there is still a risk of some data not being completely deleted if not managed carefully.

If you want to make sure that your items are completely deleted and cannot be recovered through the device you are using, it is important to use special data deletion programs such as Eraser, CCleaner, or Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN).

These programs work to write new data over the space left open by deleted objects, thus making the previous data unrecoverable. To ensure the security of your data, use professional data erasure methods. The security of your information is your responsibility.

Think twice before deleting, by doing so, you will protect your privacy and prevent the possibility of your information being misused.
