The Commander Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I am deleting files and sometimes i am getting this message - Not Deleted - File Is Registered In The MFT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted August 27, 2008 Moderators Share Posted August 27, 2008 Yes, this is common. With an NTFS disk small files may be held entirely in the Master File Table, not in sectors in the 'user' area of the disk. When deleted the entry will be flagged as deleted but the data remains. CC will securely delete these files, but they cannot be overwritten after they have been deleted, as Recuva quite wisely does not attempt to alter the MFT. In time, as new files are created, the entry, and the data in it, will be overwritten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
