demagnetised
No longer magnetic
Demagnetised is the British spelling of demagnetized—having had magnetic properties removed or neutralized.
A demagnetised hard drive no longer holds data.
Figuratively, something demagnetised has lost its attractive pull: The scandal left him demagnetised, unable to draw crowds.
