	Remnant data is data that can be recovered from magnetic media after new information has been written to that media. Although remnant data has been recovered from magnetic tapes and floppy disks, there is no credible report that has been published in the open literature that remnant data can be recovered from modern hard drives.

-Remnant Data is data that is unintentionally left behind on computer media. In forensic usage, remnant data is typically left behind after attempts have been made to delete the data, after the data has been forgotten, or after the media on which the data resides has been decomissioned.

-Remnant data appears at all levels of modern computer systems:
-* Computer systems that are discarded.
-* Partitions in hard drives that are deleted.
-* Files on hard drives that are deleted but not overwritten.
-* Snippets of text in Microsoft Word files.
-* Heap variables that are freed with '''free()'''
-* Automatic variables left on the stack of languages like C or garbage collected in languages like Java.

-Originally the phrase "remnant data" was used to describe data left behind on magnetic recording media such as tapes and floppy disks. On these kinds of media it was suggested that previous generations of data could be recovered---a process that is easy to observe with analog cassette and reel-to-reel tapes.
