But usually only one or two characters of their name is changed, in the disk directory. Ordinary unerase programs can usually recover these files because they are really not erased or damaged. Just the name is changed. At least this is how it works on a PC. If you have an apple, ask Godfrey DiGiorgi. The stickler is, if you have written to the disk after the mishap, there is a possibility that the OS could use the space that was (still is) occupied by the deleted file. The watchword is that if you ever make a mistake like this, do not use your computer for anything except running the unerase program. PC's come with a file utility that will unerase any file whose space hasn't been retaken. Even on Windoze, the trash bin collects erased files for recovery, basically forever. When erasing files on Windoze, you have to take a special effort (hold the shift key down) to erase a file and not have it retained in the trash bin.
