The contents of all deleted files remain on the disk and can be easily restored using any recovery utility.  After you delete the data, Windows deletes the data but not completely. After deleting the file, its name is only erased from the database whereas all the contents remain there. This way data don't get deleted completely. Here is the solution for your concern.  Don't let your PC be unfaithful to you. Use PC Shredder to keep your PC secure and faithful.  PC Shredder allows you easily wipe free space to ensure that previously 'deleted' files cannot be recovered.  PC Shredder uses 5 built-in delete files algorithms for overwriting files content to leave no chances to recover them.  PC Shredder can save hard disk space and improve your computer's performance Author: PCShredder.com| Date: 10-09-2008 | Size: 283 KB

When you delete a file from Windows, Windows just mark the file as deleted in file allocation table, but the data of the file is still on your hard disk, there are many tools available which can let others easily recover your sensitive files even after you have formated the hard disk. Sensitive data can easily fall into the wrong hands. And because Windows is not capable of deleting information beyond recovery, you are at risk! Passwords, financial documents, even those "about last night" e-mails are fair game for the IT professionals, computer technicians or hackers. CHAOS Shredder allows you to purge, wipe and erase data with methods that far exceed US Department of Defense standards for file deletion (DOD 5220.22).
