DY: So if I have one of the older USB flash drives containing files with the entire tanach with meforshim that I no longer use (its all on the cloud now) and want to dispose of, just trash it?
AFAIK, it’s definitely not shaimos and doesn’t need to be buried. You brought up an interesting point, though, that perhaps it should be disposed of respectfully and wrapped before being thrown out. I don’t know the answer to this.
