Learning their entire life.

Here, no one would expect her to personally know how to efficiently wipe a computer. I would expect her to know that even after something is deleted, it is often possible for experts to recover some of what was erased.

If the computer was wiped, someone made that decision. Given the existing FOIA, and the fact that her team did the sorting, I don't think that wiping the machine was something done by her tech person without permission.
