How to Recover Files from Formatted HDD

The data remanence, which is the cluster of magnetic domains representing 1s and 0s on the surface of HDD platter continues to exist even after the files have been deleted. This is the reason why HDD data recovery software is able to recover lost files from hard disk drives. That’s also why data security experts advise against simply formatting a hard disk drive before you dispose of your personal computers or storage devices.
