What is the internal process when a file is deleted from hard disc?
When a file is deleted from a hard disk, the operating system deletes the file's entry from the directory and it releases the space occupied by the file back to the pool of available free space. Most of the time, the actual contents of the file are not erased, but recovering (or undeleting) the file can be difficult because the freed space might be reused for somthing else, and because the information that binds the file's space into meaningful order is lost. The actual process involved depends on the operating system and type of file system. Sometimes, the operating system does not actually delete the file. It can move the file to a list of deleted files, making it available for recovery within a certain period of time or amount of activity. Usually, files in such a "deleted list" are then actually deleted at some later time based on time in the list and space demands on the file system.
How does data file recovery actually retrieve deleted files?

What happens to a file when it is deleted from the hard drive?
If the file is "deleted" normally, the reference to that file will be moved to a section named the "recycle bin." The file must first be fully deleted by pressing Shift+Delete on the file, or by emptying the "recycle bin." When a file is fully deleted, It is marked by the system as free space, and the reference to the file in the index is removed. The actual contents of the file are left on the drive until that data cluster's space is used for storing a new file, at which time the old file is finally overwritten.

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.
Can you recover data from a failing hard drive by putting it in the freezer?
When you delete your data off of a hard drive such as photos or file, they are not actually deleted from the hard drive. The hard drive marks the space where those files were stored as available or free and new data can overwrite your deleted photos or files. There is a tool called Nice To Recover for MacOS which you are able to download and it will help to restore those deleted files or folders.
