What does it mean that information can’t disappear?

If information doesn’t disappear, what happens to it when it’s carrier stops existing? For example, the hard drive is disintegrated or a brain decomposed. Does it return to being energy? If so, doesn’t it mean that it disappeared?

The wording is that “information can’t be destroyed”, and it’s not referring to things like a memory or a list of email addresses, it’s referring to specifics in quantum mechanics.
