Do the Maricopa auditors already have the missing files? Screenshot they posted was from data recovery software.

Yep! These people are stupid! How did they think they could just delete a whole group of files without it being recovered? I've had users delete full hard drives and times where the hard drive fried and smoked but send it in and pay a little money and they can extract every single bit that was on that drive.
I'm guessing they never expected a real audit to be done... like they knew they could get away with it...
Depends on how the data was deleted. If you remove the index the data is still there until you write new data on top of it. There are programs that do this such as bleachbit and ccleaner.
Agreed, former IT gunslinger here. Unless the locations on the drives that contained the original data were over written, the data is absolutely recoverable by the right technician. I think they have them dead to writes. Pun intended.
