Why is my C drive still full after deleting files?
I deleted some files from my C drive to free up space, but it's still showing as full. I don't understand why the space isn't being freed up even after deleting the files. Can someone help me understand what's going on?

Does deleting files actually free up space?
Have you ever wondered if deleting files from your computer or device actually frees up space? It's a common misconception that simply deleting a file will immediately reclaim that space for use. But the truth is, it's not quite that simple. When you delete a file, it's not immediately removed from your storage device. Instead, the space that file occupied is marked as available for new data to be written over. However, until that space is actually overwritten, the deleted file can still be recovered using certain software tools. So, while deleting files does technically make that space available for reuse, it doesn't necessarily mean that space is immediately freed up and ready for new data. Understanding this distinction is important when managing your storage space and ensuring your data is truly deleted and unrecoverable.
