Yes, you can snap alot of nude picture onto SD Card.
Then go format and say all gone liao.
And then use file recovery software to recover them.
But you might not be able to recover 100% of it.

Thanks bro. So if I want to permanently delete those files, the only way is to tear the SD card into pieces?

When a file is deleted, only the header information and the FAT is removed, the data is still there. All you need to do is to keep writing new data to the disk so that those lingering data will be overwritten by the new data.

When you do a FULL format under win7, all sectors are zerorised. Data cannot be recovered.
