Helios flight 522 had no usable voice recordings due to the nature of the incident. The cockpit recordings begin well after the last pilot actions from what I recall. They were able to piece it together using comms with the towers, but that was more luck.

Im not sure I understand the hesitation with it either way, however. Can’t think of a reason why you wouldn’t want the data preserved.
