A lot of people mistakenly believe that when they delete a file or an e-mail message from their PC, it’s simply “gone.” What actually happens is that the PC marks the area of the hard disk where that file resided as “available,” and it is not erased unless that space happens to be used again to store more data. The data recovery stick is equipped with forensic software that can scour a PC for deleted files and recover them in many cases. Everything you need comes on a handy USB thumb drive that is plugged into the target PC.
