- No, because the file size information is not deleted from the directory entry,
- but only the first letter of the file name

- If you are attempting to unerase files where the directory is gone for some
- reason - a Trojan, for example..., you do not know the exact file size, but
- (assuming the FAT is intact) it will only be rounded up in size to the nearest
- multiple of cluster size.
