ZAR – Data Recovery Software

Contrary to what most people think, deletion of file on windows does not mean permanent loss of the data.

When the file is deleted, its not “shredded” Instead, the table of contents that points out the location of the file is erased. To put in more simpler words, the attribute of the space used by the deleted file is changed from “occupied” to “available”.

Eventually, the hard drive will write new data over the area where the old file is located.

File Recovery utilities take advantage of the fact that the deletion of file in windows is reversible.
