Did you know?
Did you know that deleting a file on your computer doesn't always mean it's gone forever? In most operating systems, like Windows or macOS, the file is merely marked as deleted and hidden, allowing data recovery software to restore it in up to 90% of cases if you act within hours, thanks to how file systems manage storage space.
