Among the issues that SMEs and the self-employed usually raise with relative frequency to data Protection Consulting companies, many are related to the recovery of files from a storage unit that has been formatted.

Formatting allows you to quickly remove the contents of the memory unit that you want to reuse and is more efficient than manual deletion, since it also eliminates hidden files.
