    if you format a flash card or any other hard drive, the data is still technically there, it just doesnt show up. its not deleted for good untill new data takes it's place. a lot of people make that mistake and end up selling hard drives on ebay with a lot of personal data on them. in order to really delete everything, you need a program that writes random ones and zeros to the hard drive so that it overrides the data.
