When you delete a file, where does it go?

to hell

On most filesystems, nowhere. You simply tell the filesystem to ``forget'' about the file and to stop holding its place.

Lucky for you vsauce already made a video for that.

Does an 8gb usb drive weigh more when it is full than when it is less? How much does 1 gigabyte weigh?

>>58845552
Define delete.

Usually, the file resides to ~/.trash. And if needed, the memory blocks are rewritten

>>58845552
The inode is marked as free.

>>58845552
It does not go anywhere, but rather, references to it will be overwritten by nullpointers.

Therefore the file is still there, it can no longer be found.

Kind of like you when you die.

>>58845708
a 1 weighs more than a 0 so it really depends on what you have saved :)

>>58845679

If full means used, as opposed to brand new, yes; it weights marginally more.

>>58845795
It can be found by the header.

>>58845876
Sure can, but without proper references in the filesystem there is no guarantee that bits won't be overwritten whenever the system does another write operation on the disk.

Typically it stays on the drive until it's overwritten with something else.

File Heaven if it accepted Jesus Christ as its Lord and Savior and voted Republican.

zero is also one of nothing. The new denotation one of nothing is something. Making zero = one.

When you buy a 1TB drive it's actually 120TB so your data is always kept in a safe place for the NSA to visit.

The the best thing about trips. They're still anonymous. So you never really know who, unless they give away personal information.

>>58845909
Man the fuck up you pussy

>>58845552
Nowhere. The filesystem usually just deletes the record of the file and thus marks the space where it was as empty.

https://linux.die.net/man/2/unlink

The operating system sets a flag on the file to mark it for overwrite. The data is set to be overwritten, before free memory.

Oh wait this is a shitposting thread. The file goes into the trash can, then the operating system makes all that bad data go away c:

GNU is not part of the operating system.

Linux IS the operating system.

>>58854126
given that virtually every userland code you are using on loonix is dependent on some libc, GNU libc possibly being the most feature complete, yes GNU is very much a core part of the "OS"

how many programs in your shitty distro even define their own _start routine?

or are you some edge fag using alpine linux or some other musl/bsd libc distro

it is taken off the index and be treated as "free space" that can be overwritten.

Think of tape cassettes.

>>58845552

If it had been a good file, like paid software, then it goes to software heaven. Now, if it was a bad file, like those commonly associated to free software and other things such as anything related to unsecure android phones, then it goes to software hell.
