Overwritten, not deleted. Open file handles can't really help you there.
- jacquesm 7y agoYes, they can. The low level implementation is such that the inode will not be released. That's why securely overwriting a file is hard. Just opening a file for output and writing data is not enough, you need to open it for update and then write as much data as the old one had or more.
