Yes - when you delete a file from Windows or any other system, it just informs the computer to mark that specific area where the file as free/unallocated space in the file table (a list of file names and where they are located in the disk to help your computer keep track of them) of your disk. Likewise with formatting a disk, it just wipes the volume with a completely new file table.
This means that the data still remains on disk even though the computer no longer identifies that space as data.
Because of this, this is generally why people say if you want to recover something after a accidental deletion, do not do anything that writes data to the disk as you may accidentally overwrite the areas that contain the data that was to be recovered.
