Smile Deleted Files > Location?

Generally, I have JD automatically decompress and extract rar or zip archives. Then, after making sure everything looks OK in my hard drive folder, I'll use the "Delete from list and disk" option in JD to delete the original rar segments or zip file.

I do this routinely, so it has become a matter of habit.

However, some files I d/l are single links only, like a large PDF or a video file. No rar segments, no extracting needed.

At times, by accident, I have selected "Delete from list and disk." And I've had to re-download these files because of my mistake.

This happened a couple days ago and I looked in all my ".Trashes" folders (Mac) for the deleted file, but couldn't locate it. Question: Does JD immediately "Wipe" a file that's been deleted in the way I described from the hard drive? Or, is it moved to an intermediate location where I might be able to rescue it?

I'm not interested in launching any file recovery program to find it; I just d/l it again, but still, I'm wondering what happens operationally when JD deletes a file.

TIA

Deleted files are not permanently "wiped".
It's like if you move files to the trash and then delete them in there.
You should be able to discover those with recovery tools.

thanks, pspzockerscene, but without launching a recovery tool, can you tell me what is the location where files are moved when I delete them in JD? I didn't see them in the .Trashes folder for the disc that the JD application is on, and I didn't see them in the .Trash folder for the external drive that I was saving the file to...

as far as I know and understand ... Once you choose the option to delete from the list and hard disk, and immediate removal is not going to trash or landfill or as it is called in each operating system ...
is deleted and you, if you want to retrieve it using a recovery program ...
when a download is complete, in my case, I say just delete and delete it from the list, leaving intact the file in the download folder ...
I think you want an option that allows you to "delete", only sending files to the trash, then permanently delete them when they're pretty sure you do not want those files ...???
