Deleted files in a backup

Thread needs solution

We are always cautioned that deleting a file doesn't really delete it from our computers. My questions is, if I delete a file and then make an image with TI does that file reappear in the master table when a restore is made or is it just not included in the image?

If a file is deleted, the NTFS file system will consider that the sectors are not used, and, unless you have selected a disk backup and enabled the sector by sector option (not recommended), the sectors where the file data was stored will NOT be included in a newer backup. In an incremental or differential backup chain, the sectors/file might be in an earlier backup version.
