Answer 12

depending on your E-mail provider yahoo holds on to a deleted e-mail for about 30 day before the really delete it. Go ogle holds on to em for about two weeks and then they delete it.  When you delete something from your computer the information is still on the hard drive its just that the operating system now regards that part of the hard drive where the info is stored as free space and until it is overwritten by something else the info is still there and it can be retrieved with the proper program.

Answer 13

On a typical hard drive, when a file is erased, it isn't erased at just that moment. Your harddrive simply reallocates the spot on your hard drive where the information exists, so that future files can be saved OVER it.  Internet files, including emails, are on hard drives on the internet called servers. They perform the same process. They probably take less time to write over than on your personal computer since millions of people access them regularly, as opposed to just you.

Answer 14

they go to the recycler folder of your hard drive
