It has a silicon chip in it, did you destroy also the chip? – peterh Sep 16 '20 at 18:16

I think I did because silicon glitter fell out when I snapped it? – Sep 16 '20 at 18:39

*"Silicon Glitter"* . I assure you that is **not** what you saw! – user10216038 Sep 16 '20 at 19:35

Most of the time, throwing away an entire micro-SD in a pile of trash makes your data vanish forever... It's not that easy to find a micro-SD if you don't know it is there... – ThoriumBR Sep 16 '20 at 20:00

Should you be worried? No!
Is it technically possible, probably.
Here is an example SD card Xray, although not specifically a SanDisk.
The memory chips are very small and unless you broke that specific memory chip, it's possible to rebuild and recover the data. However, this is a pretty difficult undertaking and not one that most people or even most forensic labs will do, although it is possible.
