"Somehow," I'll tell you how. :) When you wipe a drive, the data isn't actually gone; it's still there. All deleting stuff does is tell your system that it's okay to overwrite over the data that you "deleted" and removes the path to the data. The physical data is actually still there. What Disk Digger does is locate that "deleted" data and create a new path, etc. (It's a little more complicated, but this is simplified; there is also a lot of binary restructuring if you want to know in detail how it works. In short, Disk Grabber does a file system metadata analysis examining the file system structures to locate information such as file names, sizes, and locations. Then it will do signature-based scanning searching for specific file signatures or headers that indicate the beginning of a file. Then it will carve the data, scanning the disk for file fragments and piecing them together to reconstruct complete files). You only got 90% of your files, as I'm guessing you might have added some new files after wiping the old ones. In this case, the new files would have overwritten the deleted data, or Disk Grabber just had a brain fart and couldn't restructure some of your deleted files, which is sometimes the case. If you want to completely delete everything properly, do a deep format. It will take a while (longer depending on drive size). What that will do is overwrite 1 and 0 over every single bit of data on the drive, making sure it's all gone! Hope this taught you something.
@@britishfireworks Definitely taught me something. I wiped it after mistaking it for my linux one. For the files I didn't get back, they were videos so I guess they are harder. Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it.
@@eggheadtwoSCM here’s a quick idea from the top of my head (sure someone could do better) an influencer who investigates old USB sticks and hard drives comes across files that changes their life forever. It would start with a few videos like the one above and progressively get darker with a deeper narrative on the side until eventually the influencer goes missing or something.
@@eggheadtwoSCM that’s why I put “quick idea” and “someone could do it better” you really think I put deep thought into this… it’s just a concept to play around with
I found an old dvd disc once. It was just a burned dvd disc of 2010 youtube videos. Half don't even exist anymore. Some I found through the internet archive. But you cant view some on there. I still have this dvd. Interesting time capsule.
USB or Unearthed Sinister Byte" plays on the idea of discovering something dark or sinister ("sinister") within the data ("byte") of a USB drive that has been unearthed or found. It implies that the contents of the USB drive are eerie or unsettling, fitting the theme of finding creepy data on used USBs from the market
So how the disk recovery works is when you delete a file you don't delete the actual file, you delete the record saying where that file is located on the disk so that program looks for something called magic numbers. They are found at the beginning of most files. If you were to open a jpg image in a text editor you would see jfif in the very beginning.
Watching these videos... I'm starting to realize that either I'm relatively normal with the stuff I'm putting on my flesh drives (presentations, films... And that's all lol) Or I am super weird for not putting extremely weird things on there. Like where the hell do people even find those???
As an animatronic enthusiast when you said to put a dude who was the just recording a video of some abandoned showbiz pizza animatronics on an fbi list I almost cried
I think the one with the animatronics has the heads all destroyed because employees were required to do that when a restaurant closed down. They had to provide evidence of having destroyed the heads so no one could use them anymore. I guess someone managed to save them from the trash though.
That "fingers" clip is an edit of Shaye St John's 'Hand Thing'. Someone has replaced the audio and I don't know why. The original one is perfectly perfect as it is.
The guy at 12:10 has an immaculate sense of surrealist humor. Looks like the original owner was a collector of void memes. Edit: Okay whatever you had to blur may be a bit concerning.
the video the blur comes from is "clown town | Memory Hole" I did a reverse image search and found the unedited video, the blood is sfx, the original was just a bb gun.
Those look like the characters from show biz pizza (Chuck e cheese competitor that was absorbed into them). The way they moved was from air, and those clicks were valves opening and closing per singular moment, hence the clatter.
I’m waiting for Apple to make the tranium emoji (based off the pfp) so I can comment it every time he posts, no matter the context, I will always post that emoji and that emoji alone, Apple please let this happen.
The big yellow or orange floating triangle looking object they were pushing into the ocean that's what we use for Target practice in the Navy and you can see the old guy shooting at it more than likely with the m2 50cal. he is probably a Navy veteran probably at some kind of Veteran reunion
Actually saved me with this series. Wiped mine by accident and Disk Digger somehow got 90% of it back.

If you disk drill and find only memes, they probably deleted the data then put that there and deleted it so that the blocks were fully overwritten.
Or you do the more secure option and just zero out the entire drive
03:59 the navy is basically allowed to throw anything like wood, paper, metal, and food into the ocean.
Ohhh
The video is actually US Army. Judging from the patch in the live fire video. it’s the 3rd Cavalry regiment
The plywood shape they put in the ocean was a live fire target.
Bros just the usb guy at this point
The first vid I've seen from this guy was a "I bought USB's!" tho i'm worried for him.

Nah, that grandpa barbershop quartet was lowkey kinda fire, though. If that had gone straight to TH-cam or Tiktok instead, might’ve gone viral, idk…

Best part about being early is that you get to see all of the stuff that will be edited out once the video gets age restricted.
Bro felt like only blurring some people sometimes
The "fingers" video is a clip from the Shay St. John TH-cam channel, I think the video was called "Hand Thing"
7:37 FAT32 is short for "File Allocation Table", and it stored data chunks in 32 bits.
It was at the tip of my tongue and I just gave up remembering 😂

and 18:48 is from "Abandoned animatronics in apartment? (Real life horror? Secret room!)"
Prime trainium would've had 15 billion views by now
did not expect to hear about a massive at at data breach 2 months after i got their internet in a tranium video 😶
Actually, if any of the cursed stuff was made by the USB owners, they could be decent analogue horror creators
Going to restore some of my old pictures now
The live photo at 22:24 was taken at friendship fountain in Jacksonville Florida. It's under a bridge there.
