Which is NOT a recommended way to dispose of unwanted used data
media?

A.
Copying new data over existing data on diskettes
B.
Formatting diskettes seven or more times
C.
Shredding paper reports by cleared personnel
D.
Destroying CD-ROMs
Explanation:
The correct answer is copying new data over existing data on
diskettes. While this method might overwrite the older files, if the
new data file is smaller than the older data file, recoverable data
might exist past the file end marker of the new file.
formatting does not remove the file at all… it only overwrites the tables that point to the file. so the best answer is B as the data is still fully recoverable.
