Chosen Solution

I wanted to find the storage on my husband’s Moto G (1st gen) to destroy it before sending it off to recycling, but when you open the phone up, every component is covered in metal plates. I could drill a hole through every single plate, but that seems excessive. Which one has the storage under it?

Hillary uses a hammer to take care of this problem.
