I've heard that since flash drives and SSDs use similar technology, recovery of deleted files might be difficult. Is it true that once files are deleted from a flash drive's trash, they can't be recovered?

If you didn't securely erase the data, there's a good chance it can be recovered. Just remember, the more important the files, the more you should think about backing them up to avoid issues later!
Usually, when you delete files, the system just marks that space as available for new data, not actually wiping it. If you use recovery software and the space hasn't been reused yet, you might be able to get the files back. But if it's really important data, it’s best to consult a data recovery expert.
Definitely keep a backup strategy in place! It's a good rule of thumb for anything important, so you don't find yourself in a bind later on.
Hey, one easy way to get your files back is by hitting ‘Restore’ if they're still in the trash. Just check there first!
