Your hard disk was partitioned in such a way that each cluster is 32KB. There was originally a file on the system that occupied seven clusters, but it was erased. The OS has now reclaimed one of those clusters with a 610 byte file. How would you best describe that particular cluster now? (For the purposes of this question, ignore binary calculations.)



▸ 610 bytes of data and 31,390 bytes of unallocated space

▸ 610 bytes of data and 31,390 bytes of random zeroes and ones following the EOF marker
