I do something halfway in between - i routinely get frustrated with everything that’s not relevant to my present concerns, and just throw it into a folder called ‘archive’ and then move THAT into the big central archive folder.

I never really look back through any of it but when I do it’s quite nostalgic.

I should probably start doing this for the (very) few times over the years I've regretted deleting something.

I do the same thing too. I’m not sure if I’ll ever look back through any of it but it’s nice to know that if for whatever reason I feel the need to review old data, my future self will be relieved that it’s not gone into the digital ether.
