Magnetic Remanence: The residual magnetization left on a storage medium, such as a hard disk or magnetic tape, even after attempts to erase the data. This property can allow previously stored data to be recovered, posing security challenges when disposing of or repurposing storage devices. Methods like degaussing can reduce magnetic remanence to protect sensitive information.
