Top 10 list-help

First of all I would like to say thanks in advance for any replies.

Currently we do not have quotas on our filesystems at work. As a result,
we have users dumping multiple gigs worth of data and never cleaning it up.
We have files that go back to 1992 that haven't been accessed since then! I
have tried to get quotas implemented, but my IT director won't let me do it.

I talked with my IT director and he suggested that we come up with a Top
Ten list of reasons to clean up old files. I've got some down, but thought
I would post this message in hopes that others might have some good reasons.
The reasons can be both serious and humorous in nature. Thanks again for
any help.

Ken.

Ha, Ha, ha. Last company I worked for, under the pretense of
recovering disk space, sent a memo out to get rid of any
correspondence and documents no longer required for the operation of
the company or obsolete programs and outdated procedures that was more
than ten months old.

Seems those can become a liability in the courtroom depending on the occasion.

HA-HA-HA Good luck. A year and a half ago we had some 35TB of storage
and a memo went out to clean files. Now we have 150TB of storage and a
memo just went out to clean up storage. Someone needs to add a new rule
to Murphy's Laws.
