I couldn't think of a way to ask the question in the title, so sorry if it's misleading, but what I present to you is a hypothetical situation. Say I have a folder called "Example" at this location: C://MyComputer/Users/Documents/SwearJar/Exple/AnotherFolder/Example. Now, is it possible to delete say, SwearJar, and then still have the Example folder undeleted, but with no conventional way to access it due to part of the path being deleted? I know usually it deletes everything within SwearJar, but would it possible to subvert that function somehow, leading to lost files that would never be overwritten unless you found it with the search function?

deleted files are marked for over writing and are recoverable unless overwritten. but they are not accessible via search. you will need specific software to undelete them.
since your files are in drive c, it is highly likely that they may be partially of fully overwritten in which case they will not be accessible even if you undelete them.

I'm not talking about a normal situation here. Normally, what you wrote is correct ^ but I was wondering if it'd be possible to create an instance via program, virus, or cheat code to not have those files within "AnotherFolder" marked for deletion while the folder "SwearJar", and "Exple" are marked for deletion.
If you need an analogy, think of it like this: Each folder listed in the op is a small island, connected to each other by a bridge. All of the bridges that lead from the C:// drive to the Example folder are considered the access path.
Now, normally, like you said ^, when you delete one island, all of the other ones are marked for deletion (or repurposed as the case may be). What I was wondering is would it be possible to destroy the bridges to one island on that path (mark it for deletion) without the other ones being affected, thus leading to "Lost Islands".
I know it's not normally possible, but I figure if somehow the NTFS was modified, it'd be possible.

it would be possible if you could somehow modify the path or create a bypass....but that would require a hell of a knowledge of both windows codes. you will need to modify how windows explorer functions and i am really sorry but i am no expert in that.
