Downloaded ParetoLogic data recovery app for free onto my flash drive just like you said, ran the scan and it located my file, when I clicked recover, it took me to a page where I would be charged $40.00! I was soooo disappointed! I am a college student and I was just trying to recover a single school document 6 pages long. I feel so stupid! Very disappointed!

Let's say that your hard drive is a book with a table of contents. When you delete an item it doesn't actually remove the content from the pages, but instead removes them from the table of contents. If the operating system needs space it quickly flips through the table of contents to see what "pages" have been used and which ones haven't. If the operating system sees that a page is not in use, then it will jump to it and write its data there which will therefore erase anything else that was previously written on the page. So when a file is deleted it is only removed from the table of contents, but the actual content of the page remains intact until the operating system decides that it needs to use the space for something else. These programs will flip through all of the pages looking for things that are not in the table of contents but still appear on a page. Hopefully you get the analogy because it is the best one that I can come up with. :) This is the analogy that I like to give to people.

I actually reformatted my HD about three times and installed Kubuntu and Windows about five times, so it won't help much :-(. But, I still see uses for these. One question, how do these work? After all, if I delete a program that is 1.4 GB, I free up 1.4 GB. Thanks Claus and Ryan.

For example, when installing Windows if you do a "quick format" then it won't go through and overwrite data, but the "long format" will. If the data has been overwritten it will be unrecoverable. Basically if the drive was formatted in a minute or so then it had to be the quick format, because the "long format" takes quite awhile to complete.
