What is file slack?

0

When files are created, they usually are not exactly one cluster in size. If they do not exactly end at the end of a cluster, there will be unused space between the end of the file data and the end of the cluster. This unused portion is called file slack. File slack can contain data from previous files that have been deleted or partially overwritten.
