Files are not really erased

The files that the user can access by the Android system are listed in the file allocation table. When a file is scanned, it is the index that indicates the location of that file on the storage medium that is scanned or moved from the table. So the wizard is no longer able to locate said file. However, it is still on the storage medium and thus can be recovered with different tools.
The only limitation: Once Android knows that the file has been “deleted” (in other words, it is no longer included in the Its file allocation table), it is able to recover the space corresponding to the storage of other files. However, if you intervene within a reasonably short period of time after such erasure, or if you have used your tablet quite a bit, it is possible that the erased file is still there.
