When
you delete a file in Mac OS X (empty the Trash) the operating system
does not actually erase the data, it is actually marked as free
space to be written over with new data. This is pretty common file
handling across most operating systems.
Each storage
device that you plug into a Mac OS X, it uses the trash of that Mac
and deleted files are transferred to the trash.
Trash is an icon of Mac OS X which
keeps aggregation of all the deleted files. It is important to
understand that no files are deleted permanently until you empty the
Trash. This is good because the files you send to the Trash will
remain in the portable device around until the Trash is emptied.
When
you delete files, the data remains on the physical drive which
can be recovered using any data recovery software. Mac OS X marks
those memory spaces as free space for reuse. If you want to delete
data permanently , use Mac data eraser of Stellar Drive ToolBox. It helps Mac users to
remove data beyond the recovery. You can even wipe any particular
drive or volume as per your requirements. There are two options
inside this tool – Drive wipe or File Wipe. You can wipe any single
file with File Wipe option.
Conclusion:-
OS
X is truly an advanced operating system, and because of this some of
the things may work a little differently. It is not only a smart way
to deal with deleted files, but also a safe way that is sure to
eventually save you from a headache. This article will help Mac users
to manage and understand your storage space when deleting files.
