When you delete files or folders on Windows 8.1, the file and folder data is not initially removed from the hard disk. Instead, the space on the disk that was occupied by the deleted data is "deallocated."

After it is deallocated, the space is available for use when new data is written to the disk. Until the space is overwritten, it is possible to recover the deleted data by using a low-level disk editor or data-recovery software.
