Why Can Restore Deleted Partition

Normally, when a partition is deleted, the system deletes the assignment to that location on the hard disk, allowing the memory segment to be overwritten as needed. However, as long as this part of the disk remains unchanged, there is still a chance to use the partition recovery utility to undelete the partition. The more times you use your computer, the more likely this part of the hard drive will be overwritten by new data. Therefore, when you find a partition missing, stop using the hard disk immediately.
