But you know they are not deleted. they are removed. The change that you can retrieve the file is 100%(expect in the case you need the file, than it is 0%). Why else does kde have a program to shred a file and is there a ext2 undelete. If you have versioning or snapshot the system is just more pleasant to work in and you still know what you deleted > > I really don't see the benefits.
