irrecoverability
State of permanent loss
Irrecoverability is the state of being impossible to recover, retrieve, or restore.
The term appears most often in technical and legal contexts: data irrecoverability after a hard drive failure, the irrecoverability of costs already spent.
The irrecoverability of the deleted files was confirmed by forensic analysts.
