Although the danger of important data that should have been deleted leaking from recycled or discarded PCs has long been pointed out, incidents related to information leaks show no sign of decreasing.
When files are placed in the “Recycle Bin” in Windows and the “Empty Recycle Bin” operation is performed, the files appear to have been deleted. However, using commercial file recovery software, many files that you think you have deleted can be recovered; formatting the HDD or reinstalling the OS from a recovery disk does not change this danger.
