Where do files go when they are deleted from a hard drive?
It goes to the Recycle Bin, of course. Then if you delete it the second time (from the Bin), it gets deleted as if you'd deleted it in DOS - which is to say it gets marked as deleted; you can restore it if you don't overwrite it first, and you need to supply the first letter of the file name.
Can you bring back things you have erased on your computer?
If you are running windows this is easy if you have not permanently deleted what you want.. Just click on the recycle bin and you will see a list of everything you have deleted. Click on what you want to restore and click on "restore this item". It will go back to where it was when you deleted it. If you have emptied your wastebasket it will be really hard to get something back. If it is something really really valuable you might be able to pay an expert to retrieve it from your hard drive because you see, when you "permanently" delete a file, all that is really deleted is the address of the file in the directory. Until another file is written over it, which happens somewhat randomly, it can be recovered. This is why old hard drives should be reformatted or destroyed when a computer is sold or retired if it held sensitive information.
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.

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.
What happens when you move a file. Is it deleted from the original location?
No, the file physically rests on the same place in your hard drive. What is changed is a value or a path thru which you can access it.
How hard is it to recover files once deleted from a computer?
If the file is in the Recycled Bin then it can be recovered easily by restoring it. If the file has been deleted it is likely somewhere on the hard drive, however without it's pointer so it's basically invisible. The more time that goes by, the more chance the file will have been written over on the hard drive.
