: A while back this pencil neck geek computer whizbanger told me that deleted files
: (programs, spreadsheets, WP documents) weren't really deleted as in gone. The space
: they occupied was now available for any thing new but if nothing new was written over
: it, a good computer guy could restore them. Is it the same with deleted e-mail?
: Probably not a concern for the average user, but for source and list guys in the biz,
: could this be a problem if they really wanted to take your customers and friends down?
: Hope this isn't a stupid question- just wondering.
This is true. But there are special programs that can more thoroughly delete files.
Check out some of the shareware archives or Symantic's site.
Yours in sport,
