Delete is expensive. "Am I positive I'll never need this again?"
As a consequence, "cheap" actions (saves) accumulate, "expensive" ones (deletes) accrue until cheap becomes expensive as space becomes tight.
Ultimately, options become:
- Find criteria for rapidly assessing what data can be deleted.
- Purchase cheap archival storage and migrate old data to that.
- A media or device crash induces loss of arbitrarily-selected data.
