File deletion

Hi there champ! So, have you ever seen the 'delete' button on your computer? When you click on it, it removes something from your computer, right? That's what we call file deletion.

Now, let's say you have a toy, like a teddy bear, and you want to get rid of it, what would you do? You can throw it in the garbage bin or give it away, right? Similarly, when you delete a file on your computer, the computer doesn't transport it to a different location, rather it removes it from your computer's storage, like throwing it away in the bin or giving away your toy.

You might be wondering, "Where does it go once it's deleted?" Well, when your computer removes the file, it doesn't entirely go away, it's just not in a spot that's easy to find. It's like if you hid your teddy bear in a secret spot in your room where nobody else knows, even though it's still in your room, it's not where anyone can easily see it.

However, even though the file isn't easy to find anymore, the bits and data of that file still remain on your computer's storage. So, it's not entirely gone forever. That's why some people can find a way to get it back sometimes.

But, why do people delete files? Sometimes we delete files that we no longer need or want, like when we finish a project for school or work. Sometimes, we need to make space on our computer's storage, and deleting files is a way to do that.

So, that's pretty much it kiddo! Deleting a file on your computer is like throwing away a toy you don't want anymore, only it's still somewhere in your computer's storage.
