Yep, $E5 gets written into the first byte to mark it as deleted. The 
rest of the directory entry remains unchanged thus the entry for 
locating the first cluster in the FAT can be retrieved as can the 
exact file length. The hard bit is locating the rest of the clusters 
because those will have been marked as free - tricky with a fragmented 
file!
