当你删除一个图片,歌曲,视频,电影,或ny other text file from your Mac system, the Mac operating system removes all the entries of that particular file from the system. The operating system marks the memory allocated to that deleted file as free so that a new file can be saved in that location of the media. Thus, due to the broken links and removal of entries, the OS cannot show the deleted file, where it was originally located. However, the interesting fact is that the file, which you have completely deleted from your system, even from the ‘Trash’, still remains in the storage media.
