Best Answer

When you delete a file from the trash bin, the data is still there for the file but the reference to the file (the area on the storage device that shows where all the files are) is deleted. You can permanently delete a file by using a program, such as Eraser (http://www.tolvanen.com/eraser/) that writes random data where the file was.
