Deleted Files?....

What really happens to a deleted file after it was also deleted in the recycle bin? is the file really deleted just because you cannot see it anymore in the recycle bin?

No, the file stays on the hard drive, but the space it was using is "marked" as "free to use", so operating system may overwrite it as soon as you start copying files or do anything that makes your hard drive buzz. Windows de-fragmentation tool - if you run it, all files will be lined up for better performance and those lost file chunks will be "cleaned up".

If you have deleted very important file, don't try to copy or move anything, don't run any programs, don't even turn the PC off, just get pros to help you or find and install software yourself which will be able to restore lost file.

Just as i thought! coz i'v encountered problems before like when i just got to the office and turn on my PC then suddenly realizing that my user account was already deleted & a new account has been created, i got really mad but i try to solve the problem, after accessing the other user account, i discovered that my account really was deleted by someone!
good thing there is the System Restore option! it saved my neck! then that was the time that i came to think that those files that were deleted was just like hidden or something!

Thanks for the info! i really appreciate the insights that you are sharing!
