I know it's easy with mechanical HDD's, because there's physical evidence of the data in the form of scratches on a metal plate…but an SSD doesn't have that, does that make it harder, or sometimes even impossible?
just as easy to do but requires sometimes a more expensive piece of software to do so. most likely the guys in phone repair shop looking for wank fodder can recover some stuff from iphones etc as some software is available free but anything on an SSD drive that has been overwitten in a sophisticated way needs bespoke software to recover it.
Having a UK leading data recovery expert in the family and 'innocently' questioning him over dinner im told that absolutely nothing on any media format however many times overwritten is ever beyond restoration to enough definition to become incriminating.
scary shit

Ok will try that, thanks so much….. I thought they were on the sim, but put the sim in an iphone im borrowing till i get a new sony and it says no contacts.
Edit. Lovely ben mate, found them. If i delete them from the comp will they come off the actual phone mucker? Cheers for the help. Are the contacts in a folder like that?

Use your computer's disk utility to wipe the phones memory, dunno about PC's but with Macs you can overwrite the whole disc with zeroes multiple times and stop pervs recovering your data.

Pics are gone so and it said 'permanently delete' so im assuming that means fine from phone. I can take it in for a new screen now.
If the cunts recover them from the phones hard drive then they are welcome to see them and wank
over them, but i just couldnt risk taking it in and leave them just sitting up proud as punch like they do on a z1. Ive done my bit so well pleased.
Thanks bennelli mate.

See that in the states they've just blocked police from being able to use mobile phones as evidence in a case. Can't remember where I read the link but yeah the case was filed by two gangbangers (no orgy) who had stuff on their phones not linking them to the crime they were arrested for rather for other crimes and the police used the pictures to try and do them for that aswell.

Would never happen in the uk. Its their biggest weapon in fighting crime. They even nick people over just phone calls about crime or your signal being somewhere something went down at the time.

Noticed on cAnada border force programme immigration officers take your phone off you and look at what the fuck they like if they think you might overstay the tourist VISA. I think I'd be on the first plane home rather than hand it over to the cunts.
