Why Do Deleted Data and Files Remain
Studies have shown that traditional methods of deleting files and data do not guarantee their permanent removal, as the data remains stored on the storage devices until it is overwritten by new data, making it possible for specialized programs to recover it. This raises privacy concerns, especially with inactive accounts on many digital platforms that may contain sensitive information and be vulnerable to hacking. Additionally, the advancement of artificial intelligence technologies complicates the process of deleting data from intelligent models, creating a gap between users' rights to request data deletion and the technical capabilities of companies, which often face challenges in fully executing these requests. Therefore, researchers are working to develop more transparent and clear deletion systems, such as the concept of "explainable deletion," aimed at enabling users to know what types of data have been deleted, how, and when, to enhance trust and protect privacy in the digital age.
