I had an accounting instructor that lived by 'I always want to pay a little in so I am not doing an non-backed interest free loan to the government.'

Think of it as a table of content in a book. So when you "delete' a file, you just remove the table of content chapter marker, but not the pages. Then, when you need to write more data, you "write" to the pages then update the table of content.
Things can get more complicated when it comes to flash storage (ssd/flash drive) but only when it comes to overwriting the pages.
