Call me Captain Confidence but I have this awkward habit of thinking projects I jump into will be easier than they usually are.

When you delete a file, and clear out your desktop ‘recycle bin’, the data isn’t really gone - you essentially just ‘hide’ it, and tell the system that it’s OK to write over the data. This of course...
