What is the word for "Unnecessary detailed information"?

Can you tell me what the word is for "Unnecessary detailed info on a topic which is given after the prominent parts is given"?


You could say that it is extraneous:

not pertinent; irrelevant: an extraneous remark; extraneous decoration.


If someone doesn't stay on topic, you might say their unrelated information is a digression or that they've gone off on a tangent.

If they simply go on at length, they might ramble, drivel, blather, or babble, producing some form of nonsense, perhaps claptrap or prattle.
