i have deleted a file from my hard drive before i made an image/clone hard disk. Is it possible to recover the deleted file from the clone disk?
 
Any deleted files have to be recovered before using any cloning software. The only thing you try at the present time is using a program like Active Undelete to recover the file and then create a new disk image with all files intact.
 
but shouldnt the clone disk be the same as the original where a data recovery program can recover deleted files? sorry for dumb questions but I am no tech expert
 
Cloning is going to take what is actively available and seen into account when creating the disk image. Once files are deleted the cloning program looks at them the same way as none found. This is why using a data recovery program to rescue what you can first would be the advice on this.
