Deleted

Deleted refers to the action of removing or erasing content, data, or information from a system, database, or platform. This term is commonly used in various fields such as computing, social media, literature, and law.

Computing[edit | edit source]

In the context of computing, deletion is the process of removing files, directories, or data from a computer system. When a file is deleted, it is often moved to a recycle bin or trash folder where it can be restored if needed. Permanent deletion occurs when the file is removed from the recycle bin or trash folder, making it more difficult to recover.

Data Deletion Methods[edit | edit source]

  • Soft deletion: The data is marked as deleted but not immediately removed from the storage.
  • Hard deletion: The data is permanently removed from the storage.
  • Secure deletion: The data is overwritten to prevent recovery.

Social Media[edit | edit source]

On social media platforms, deletion refers to the removal of posts, comments, or accounts. Users can delete their own content, and platform administrators can delete content that violates community guidelines.

Literature[edit | edit source]

In literature, deleted scenes or chapters refer to parts of a manuscript that were removed during the editing process. These deletions can be due to various reasons such as pacing, relevance, or length constraints.

Law[edit | edit source]

In law, deletion can refer to the removal of records or information from legal documents or databases. This can occur for reasons such as expungement, where a person's criminal record is erased.
