Computer question

[Metal85]

I have heard in the past that when you truely delete something on a computer, it needs to be deleted on like 3 different locations in the comp. Is that true? if so where else do you go to find it? like if you delete a pic on documents, than on the recycling bin, is it still in another location? thanks

I know about the recycling bin, but not sure about other places.

BUMP

U can't truly delete anything on a computer. If someone who knows what they're doing wants to see what u deleted then ur fucked period!

The only way that I know to delete something forever off your computer is to do a system reformat. Nothing on a computer is ever fully deleted unless you do that. but if you do that you lost everything on your computer.

 

[Presser]

Even doing that reformat won't fully delete things as a forensic computer geek can get anything still!

there is a program called bcwipe that the govt uses. google jetico.com/wiping-bcwipe

 

[leo8013]

thats true as well. until that part of the disc os over written is can still be read. a really powerful magnet or fire. problem solved. lol

so lets say I accidentally deleted the wrong folder in my pictures and again in the recycling bin, how would I pull that back up Presser? keep in mind I am no computer geek by any means lol

 

[leo8013]

how long ago did you delete it?? On a computer the file is ereased until another file is written over it. Once that happens it cant be restored. The only way to undelete something is through a software program. google search undelete program and there is actually a youtibe vid on how to do it as well. hope this helps

You're in way over my head, but you shouldn't have deleted your gay porn collection

 

[Metal85]

is undelete free? and Big we all know about those collections of yours, so stop trying to pawn em off to others

 

[big in vegas]

Well, yea they were mine only because you asked me to find some gay porn for you, but then I sent them to you and destroyed my comp

 

[leo8013]

yes the majority of them are free

My mother is a regional director for IBM and the systems administrator for the vast majority of their high dollar corporate accounts. She is literally the only person who can get into the base of IBM's global system dating back to DOS formatting. Short of physically replacing everything, motherboard's, processors, hard drives, etc, she can find it. She can also see what has gone to your IP address. Crazy shit. I'm not sure if you're asking for your protection or just to retrieve some old files, but in this day and age EVERYTHING is retrievable. It just depends on how far they want to go and how talented a person is.

lol holy cow Dude, no nothing crazy just a deleted folder, and Big admits he looks up gay porn
