We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Don't delete anything until you find a replacement copy. A lot of media from that time period became lost with no known copies. You might be sitting on a treasure trove.
Yes absolutely, I hope this will be clear for all people in this subreddit
Thank you. There is so much from this time that I can no longer find. Anime which is not considered “profitable” often never gets re-released. Some is never released on home media, and the only copies are recording from TV decades ago.
