Many people believe formatting the drive or deleting the file will complete delete information from the drive. Actually that is not so. A real deleting of files on drives is only possible through a complete overwrite of the original files with (meaningless) data. A simple delete as executed by all OSes makes files only non accessible on the OS and application program level (the file names are gone).

Typically, data deleted on the computer is not truly deleted. The file stays on the disk until it is overwritten by another file. Until then, those files or file fragments can be recovered. If the data is sensitive, the recovered data could be exploited, causing damage much like a missed ember in a fire. When you delete your data, you want the data totally extinguished.
