Delete and Destroy

“Scratched” Cedar Park, 2023

As part of our decluttering journey, I am finally disposing of several old, broken hard drives. I wasn’t sure how to prepare them for recycling, but thanks to YouTube, I discovered that scratching the platters is a good way to ensure that the data would be difficult to retrieve. And even if it was retrieved, it’s probably of no use to anyone. But, better safe than sorry!

Ready for recycling. ♻
