Recovering deleted data isn't as easy as you think. Depending if the data sectors were overwritten and how many times anything recovered could be corrupted and unreadable. Specifically, there's a lot of software designed to nuke all data on a hard drive by rewriting the sectors over and over until nothing is recoverable. Do you think Clintons tech monkeys were stupid enough to type in "format c: /q" and walk away? I've had to destroy hard drives with sensitive data. You nuke the sum bitch and have the hard drives shredded.
