Whenever we download a file specifically an mp3 file, and when we delete that file, is there a portion of it left over on the hard drive on the pc?
So overtime...you think you've deleted everything you've downloaded, yet those portions left over from the downloaded files that you've deleted builds overtime, and in a year or two you've got a crawling slow pc...?
...or when you do delete a file, EVERYTHING gets deleted and no information is left on the pc's harddrive?
I think as long as you empty the recycle bin they are gone forever, but there is a chance you can still recover them with data recovery software. There might be a registry entry that is left on your registry, but you can use a registry cleaner like CCleaner, Glary Utilities, Auslogics Registry Cleaner, etc to clean the entry.
Yeah, thats what I was hesitant over, whether I will have to download yet another program to remove files.
Are registry entries created from mp3 files?
...or all files?
I found out we can't download mp3 files directly from the internet to a device, we instead need to download to the pc, and transfer over, then "delete" that downloaded mp3 file, then go into recycle bin and delete it once and for all.
I'm just not sure if...overtime there is that little "something" left over from deleted files and builds overtime?
I think the registry keys are made by windows to keep track of the file, but sometimes Windows does not delete the registry key, so over time it can slow down your computer. I notice CCleaner and other registry cleaners find keys pointing to programs which I deleted a long time a go.
Deleted files never get removed from a hard drive. Where do you think it goes when its deleted? Well it goes no where. The file gets compressed as much as it can and can be recovered at a little date using a recovery programs.
If your worried about people using a data recovery program you can buy or find a free software that shreds the files into millions and millions of encrypted numbers symbols etc.. Which is harder to recover unless you know what your doing.
And if your still worried get rid of the driver and buy a new one and smashing up the old one 😀
I also recommend crapcleaner. aka CCleaner :lol: I use it my self and it has a built in shredder thing.
What I've been told, is when you delete a file off your computer, there's a phase where you can pretty much totally recover it, but after that point, it gets overwritten with other stuff. That's what I've been told at least. I don't know much about it myself
You can recover deleted files using recovery program such as recuva. Recovery programs can recover files from hard drive, camera card, USB, Zip, floppy disk or other media, even if emptied from the Recycle Bin, data File recovery after accidental format
Lets say I delete files off my flashdrive whilist plugged into a pc.
1. Do the files get deleted from the flashdrive and nothing transfered over to the pc or the pc's recycle bin and/or hardrive?
Meaning, when I delete files from a flash drive while plugged into a computer, no files are placed onto the computers hardrive during the deletion process of the files off the flashdrive?
I wouldn't be to worried, Unless you have files you shouldn't on your computer. Everyone has MP3 files paid or not paid for. Or your due a computer check or something.
