Not completely true. The data is still there after emptying the recycle
bin, but the clusters occupied by that data is released to the file system
for reuse. The more the system is used after the recycle bin is emptied,
the more likely those released clusters are to be reused. BUT, until the
clusters are actually reused the data IS recoverable, but the process is
very time consuming. Even after clusters are reused some data can be
recovered at great expense.
