☑️ There's deleted, and there's deleted. Secure delete is one approach to making sure your files can't be recovered.
☑️ Secure delete
Deleting a file doesn’t necessarily mean it’s gone, it’s just marked for overwriting. Secure delete ensures data is unrecoverable by overwriting it with random data. For sensitive cases, extended secure delete uses multiple passes to erase data completely. Tools like SDelete have options for securely deleting files or wiping free space.
