How can you be sure that the data was actually permanently erased?<\/p>\n<p>The world that we live in puts us all at risk of having information taken or misused through the work of cyber-criminals, viruses, and other forms of malware. Sensitive or confidential information needs to be handled with the proper care to make sure that it is completely erased when you need it to be.

When you delete a file or other information from your device, the internal software works to destroy data by overwriting its code. Through the use of ones and zeros, data is overwritten and considered unrecoverable.<\/p>\n<p>When you need to erase data, you have to go beyond the standard file deletion commands. Using delete or sending items to the trash on your device does not actually delete the file but instead removes the direct pointers to the data itself. This will make data recovery possible again through the use of standard software tools.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox[rel-47635-1184643272]\" href=\"https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/section-delete1.jpg\" target=\"_self\" class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_shadow_border  vc_box_border_grey\"><img width=\"728\" height=\"551\" src=\"https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/section-delete1.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"Deleting Files\" title=\"Deleting Files\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/section-delete1.jpg 728w, https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/section-delete1-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/section-delete1-600x454.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid wpex-relative\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div style=\"width:80%;\" class=\"wpb_text_column wpex-max-w-100 wpex-mx-auto wpb_content_element vc_custom_1556831649310\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>Therefore, if you are intending to erase data entirely, you have to go beyond the standard delete package that came with your device and use data erasure software.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_section wpex-relative\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row-o-equal-height vc_row-o-content-middle vc_row-flex wpex-vc-full-width-row wpex-vc-full-width-row--no-padding wpex-relative tablet-fullwidth-columns\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_separator wpb_content_element vc_separator_align_center vc_sep_width_100 vc_sep_border_width_10 vc_sep_pos_align_center vc_separator_no_text vc_sep_color_grey wpb_content_element  wpb_content_element\" ><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_l\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_r\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_section vc_custom_1555965966137 wpex-vc-full-width-section wpex-vc-full-width-section--centered wpex-relative\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid wpex-relative\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-h2\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\">Why Deleted Files are not <span class=\"wpex-font-semibold\" style=\"color:#E31F26\">Erased Permanently<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid wpex-relative wpex-vc-has-custom-column-spacing wpex-vc-column-spacing-30\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>You might be wondering why files and data that you have deleted are not actually deleted from your memory cards or smart device. This is because when you delete something, the device just deletes the pointers that lead there. Then, the space that the information took up is considered \u201cfree space\u201d by the device and is then put at risk for being overwritten by new data. But unless you are going to completely take up all of the free space on your hard drive; it is unlikely that these files will be overwritten with new data any time soon.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>It really depends on the capacity of the storage device and how quickly you go through its capacity. If it is something substantial, say more than 10 GB, the space can be overwritten pretty quickly. If it is a smaller amount of data, such as a few MB, it may take substantially longer to be overwritten and permanently deleted. This can be useful if you have accidentally deleted something and wish to recover it, but it will not guarantee that data is permanently deleted.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_section wpex-relative\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row-o-equal-height vc_row-o-content-middle vc_row-flex wpex-vc-full-width-row wpex-vc-full-width-row--no-padding wpex-relative tablet-fullwidth-columns\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_separator wpb_content_element vc_separator_align_center vc_sep_width_100 vc_sep_border_width_10 vc_sep_pos_align_center vc_separator_no_text vc_sep_color_grey wpb_content_element  wpb_content_element\" ><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_l\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_r\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_section vc_custom_1755801422338 wpex-vc-full-width-section wpex-vc-full-width-section--centered wpex-relative wpex-vc_section-has-fill wpex-vc-reset-negative-margin\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_column-gap-30 wpex-relative tablet-fullwidth-columns\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-h2 wpex-text-center\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\">Devices that <strong>Require<\/strong> <span class=\"wpex-font-semibold\" style=\"color:#E31F26\">Erasure Verification<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\t<div style=\"font-size:1.125em;text-align:center;\" class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>If you have any type of storage device that contains files or other data, you should consider having an erasure verification performed for your own security.
