The explanation was in today's hearing. They don't turn on the computers and do an analysis on a copy of the data. The machines were set up in a RAID configuration and since the Maricopa county wouldn't tell them the configuration, they had to reconstruct the data. Reconstructing the data involves scanning the whole thing where they identified the "deleted" database.

 

As you may or may not know, deleting something from your computer just removes an entry from an index - the data is still there. The index can be reconstructed. Since wear-leveling algorithms try to spread writes over the entire disk, newly written data does not overwrite old data, until free space has run out.
