When you delete a save file from an R4 in the computer where does it go?

Technically it doesn't 'go' anywhere, all 'deleting' a file does is set the computer to not see it anymore, and allow that data to be overwritten. If that data is not overwritten, it is still there, and can be recovered by 'undeleter' software.


How much old data can be recovered from a working hard disk?

All of the "old data" that has not been overwritten can be recovered in Windows and MS-Dos. When a file is deleted in Windows / MS-Dos the first character of the file name is changed to a question mark. This releases the allocated disk space of the deleted file to the free disk space. The data itself is not touched until a program overwrites the data in that allocated space. This is not true of most other operating systems.

How do you completely delete deleted files?

Since the windows delete and emptying the recycle bin does not completely delete the file you need to use a shredder program so that the file is overwritten with random data and cannot be recovered. You should use CCleaner and select the wipe free space option. You can change the method of deletion in the settings too. I suggest choosing the DOD 5220.22-M method.

How do you restore pictures you've deleted from a memory card on Windows Vista?

Files deleted from memory cards can often be recovered given the new files were not over written on the old files. If you accidentally deleted pictures from you memory card make sure you don't use the card for further storage so your files don't get overwritten. There are many free software available "zero assumption digital image recovery" is my favorite. Scanning your card with it will give you a list of recoverable files and you can choose which files you want to recover. I have recovered photos and videos deleted 2years ago from my phone's memory card with this method.
