If you mean floppy disks, none.
You should do the opposite of what the picture says, and copy ALL YOUR FLOPPIES to somewhere safe, preferably using some low level access shit to be sure you ripped all of the data.

Some really good digital instruments from the 90s use floppies for recording shit or exporting as midi. No real reason to throw these away when they still sound good given that you have maintained it correctly

hide specific documents you dont want being found
anyone looking for anything will be looking for sata drives or flash drives
