Why you should permanently delete previously deleted files

Do you know that every file, program, movie, picture, photo, document and anything else you have previously deleted using simple 'Delete', are not permanently removed from your PC and can be restored?
If you delete files using standard Windows 'Delete' option, Windows does not actually remove file content from your PC. Windows just deletes a reference to the file from a table that lists all files on your computer but the content of the file still exists until Windows overwrites it with new information. So 'deleted' files are still kept on your hard drive and can be easily recovered. To protect your privacy, you should permanently delete deleted files without any chances to restore them.
