When you delete data from your hard drive, it is not permanently erased and can be recovered. This is because data traces remain on the hard drive until they are erased or overwritten. Similarly, there are a few commands and tools of the operating system that only delete the links to the file structure but do not erase them permanently. Simply deleting the data is not the solution since it can risk your data security and privacy.
