A peculiar thing happened to me today. I deleted certain files that I didn’t want anybody else to see and they were in the recycle bin. But then the electricity went out and I forgot about that. The next day my sister found the files and she made a mess out of my life. The deleted files were restored after restart. How come?

That’s nothing peculiar to happen when PC is not shut down properly. All the changes previously made are undone, unless they have been saved. So, take a good care about that. For example, if you don’t save your word document before you shut down your PC or if the electricity goes out before you manage to do that, nothing is going to be saved. So, adjust autosave option in Word, Excel and other applications and remove all items from the recycle bin, because sometimes this unpleasant situation can happen to you. Imagine what would have happened if you haven’t saved the changes to a very important term paper and you had to restart your PC? So, take care about all that.
