Where Do Deleted Files Go?

I wanted to know where deleted files go not how the universe will end

I wasn't prepared to have an existential crisis, I just wanted to know where deleted files go.

I hope this channel don't ever get deleated.

Michael, you madman. You had so many chances to end this video on a mindblowing note, but you just kept kickin' up more vibes.

“Where do deleted files go?” Eight minutes later “We surrender the fact that our species will eventually be DELETED from the universe”

I clicked on this video to pass the time, not to have an existential crisis.

I used to work in IT security for a large company and another method used to wipe data from drives was degaussing. This was where an electromagnetic pulse was used to demagnetise the hard drive or tape, effectively wiping the data. Even this wasn't considered completely secure however and was usually just the first stage of the destruction process, with the degaussed drives then being shredded anyway. The disposal company we used could shred drives so the resulting scraps were only 2mm thick. This still doesn't technically mean that the data still couldn't be retrieved but even those enterprising people in Ghana would have a hard time extracting anything of value from those scraps. Of course, the less sexy but more practical method of data security was just to have a strict policy of forbidding any data containing customer or payment information to be stored locally on employee PCs, drastically reducing the amount of physical storage equipment that actually held sensitive data. I'll get in contact with my former colleagues and let them know that the heat death of the universe is also an effective method of data security.

"dad where do deleted files go" "...Our sun becomes a red giant and swallows the Earth whole"

How did we go from deleting files to the end of the universe in 10 minutes

I love how he gives us hope in "But we got to the moon" and then instantly takes it

Even after a decade of release, these videos still looks more informative than today's....

So basically, if you want to get rid of something paper, you should shred it, then burn it, then eat it, shit it out, burn it again, bury it several thousand miles underground and then throw the Earth into the sun and be happy that your Club Penguin password is safe.

"i gotta delete my search history fast" sun: gotcha bruh

Vsauce: Talking about what happens with deleted files Also Vsauce minutes later: Talks about the heath death of the universe

This went from how to delete files to physics to the heat death to entropy to the secret to life and finnally michael asking rather philosophical questions. Early 2010s michael was wild.

The kid who’s Minecraft world got erased needs to see this

Q: Where do deleted files go? A: The end of the universe is inevitable

Such a good script. The twists and turns... and in the end it turns out we were going steadily forward the whole time.

I wish every teacher was as passionate and good at teaching as you! Amazing video!
