The data area is available to be written into. Unless things have changed, deleting a file just hides the file name but leaves all the data.
I have recovered flash card photos many times as well as files from my HHD but the software I used is not compatible with Windows 10. This was a new drive so it wasn't fragmented. I probably overwrote some of the deleted files but I wouldn't expect it to have hit all of them as I only needed 10% of the free space. The new full backup could have written into the original free space as well as into the deleted file space. I intended to get more space by deleting a folder with a few unneeded backups but mistakenly deleted the wrong folder that had about 10 backups.
It was nearly full of tibx backup files, each of which is a little over 300MB.
Fortunately, I'm using a 6TB HHD and not a TRIM enabled SDD as my J: backup drive.
