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.
Unallocated space doesn't contain any data.
If there is an unallocated space on your disk, you can create partition directly with this unallocated space; if there is no unallocated space on your disk, you should first shrink a comparatively larger partition to get an unallocated space, then create partition
In Windows Vista, unallocated space refers to disk space that has not been assigned to any partition or volume, while free space is the available space within an existing partition that can be used for data storage. Unallocated space cannot be used until it is formatted and assigned to a partition, whereas free space can be immediately utilized for file storage or for creating new files within an existing partition. Essentially, unallocated space is "unused" space that needs to be set up, while free space is "available" space within a partition.
Unallocated space is space that has not been assigned to a partition.
