@Bartmadness @iL_MJG0spel There is an industry around recovering deleted data.
Helped my folks do it several times, before I had them install CrashPlan.
Worked in the software industry, and know the MFT format for FAT; how they extended FAT32 to have long file names using multiple entries in the MFT; --

@Bartmadness @iL_MJG0spel The tools "shred" and "wipe" will do it for Linux. I'm not certain which platform these diabolical machines run on but I'd imagine it's Windows, due to the MFT. There are similar tools there; here's one result:

@Bartmadness @iL_MJG0spel Your "why admit that you were incompetent" question does not parse, due to the above demonstrated experience with the details.
Sounds like you're trying to cast aspersions on the investigators. Or do I misunderstand? Thanks.
