Reply to comment by unlikemike123 in eli5 How is computer memory deleted? by unlikemike123
Stuff that's "marked for overwrite" isn't counted against total capacity.
I would just like to make the distinction that memory and storage are not the same thing, memory is your RAM and storage is your hard drive.
Many people are using them interchangeably, which will run aground if memory addresses ever come up.
