This document provides tips for organizing files on a computer. It explains that the desktop is like the top of a physical desk, where you may keep a few files but it can get cluttered. Instead, the computer uses folders to help organize files, with folders able to contain other subfolders. When saving a new file, it's best to store it in the Documents folder, which is like a drawer in the desk, to keep files organized by project or topic. The document also outlines different storage locations for files including on the local computer, a school network, or removable flash drive.

This document discusses file storage and deletion. It notes that when files are saved, they are stored across multiple hard drive clusters and a table tracks their locations. When a file is deleted, it is not immediately erased but moved to the trash or recycle bin. An experiment is described where a file is deleted, the trash is emptied, and then restoration software is used to successfully recover the file, showing that deletion does not fully remove the data. Risks to file recovery are discussed as data being overwritten or destroyed by viruses.

When files are deleted, they are not immediately erased from the hard drive. Deleting a file simply removes the reference to where the file is stored on disk, allowing the space to be overwritten. Using data recovery tools, deleted files can sometimes be retrieved if they have not been overwritten. The document describes an experiment to test how difficult it is to recover files that were deleted in different ways, such as moving to the trash vs overwriting. Various data recovery tools and techniques are tested to see how completely deleting files requires overwriting unused space to prevent potential file recovery.
