use rollback command the records are again available in the
table but in case of truncate the data is permenently
deleted from the table.

to delete

Delete command will remove the data values ( all the
records of table) and space and table structure will be
ramain. We cannot free the space and remove the table
structure using Delete command.
Truncate command will free the memory and removes table
structure from data dictionary.
