If the data has been removed out of the recycle bin, then the file becomes unreadable by the application. If no data has been overwritten, certain recovery softwares can recover the file by following the log information and reversing the process. If the data has been over written, it might be lost for ever to the extent that the data is actually ovr written at the bute level. Often parts of the data still remain locked in some slack space within the disk but is not readable thorugh the normal applications. If you use appropriate software which can read the data at byte level, it is possible to recover the data to some extent. This is the science of Cyber Forensics. Naavi
