Since the operating system files but only delete the contents of the file system and the controller of the SSD of this deletion will notice anything, it must delete the access back to the cell that first before he can describe it. With the TRIM feature shares the operating system with the SSD controller, the data blocks are no longer used, so that it can delete the unused cells of rest, in order to later describe without loss of performance again.
