The commonest size in use is 31/2 inches. Standard capacity is 1.444MB.

Earlier models also used 5 1/4 inch diskettes, and even earlier ones used 8 inch diskettes. Those earlier diskettes were "floppy" because they were covered in nothing but a coated cardboard sleeve, and were not rigid thus, hence the popular name "floppy disk."

Can a diskette be removed from a computer?

Yes, it is a removable disc. However, almost no computers have diskettes anymore. Answer There should be a button to push that will expel the diskette. Location would be next to the drive. Computers manufactured over the past few years do not have a disk drive where you can insert a diskette. After a period of time where both a disk drive and a CD ROM drive were included, we are now in a time where CD ROM drives and USB ports are provided for external storage. Hmm, guess I misunderstood the question. I thought it was whether a diskette could be removed.

When a diskette is write-protected does it mean that data on the diskette can only be renamed?

No, when a diskette is write-protected, it means that data on the diskette cannot be modified, deleted, or overwritten. This protection prevents any changes to the existing files, but you can still read the data and copy it to another location. Renaming files is typically not possible either, as that action also involves modifying the diskette's contents.
