Yes, both OS X and Windows do place "deleted" files in the Trash/Recycle Bin
initially until "emptied".
Emptied files can still be recovered as the OS actually only deletes the
directory address. The actual 1/0s of the data remains on the drive until
those are overwritten by new 1/0s. If not it would take you the same amount
to delete the file as writing it.
There are bunch of utilities out there. Basically, you want to make sure you
dont use, not even mounting it, until you are ready to do the recovery.

Not a bad one, there are others.
