What occurs when a file is deleted?
The starting cluster is determined by reading the directory entry for the file to be deleted.
The FAT entries associated with the clusters belong to the file are reset to zero by following the cluster chain.
Finally, the first character in the directory entry is overwritten with a 0xE5.
