Where are files stored before they are saved?

Before files are saved, they are typically stored in a temporary location known as the system's RAM (Random Access Memory). When you create or edit a file, the data resides in memory until you explicitly save it to a permanent storage medium, like a hard drive or SSD. This temporary storage allows for quick access and manipulation of data before it is finalized and written to a more permanent location. Additionally, applications may use their own temporary files or caches to hold data during this process.
