The subject of a data retention order isn't the person that gets to decide what data is or is not relevant.

  That's not actually true, cache files for example are wiped as a basic fact of web browsing. Unless specified, continuing to brows the web on an unrelated machine is not in violation. Note, demonstrating something is unrelated is easiest when it was purchased after the fact. PS: And yes, I have had training and been required to deal with data retention issues as a basic part of my job for years.

    "he wiped a test machine that lacked relevant information" != "cache files for example are wiped as a basic fact of web browsing"

      Depends, CI servers are sometimes setup to do a fresh OS install on a regular basis. Formatting a machine that was formatted last night and will be formatted tomarrow is hardly suspicious behavior. Now that's unusual for web servers, but client software that gets installed is it's own little world. VM's snapshots are generally better for this, but 3D software can have issues with VM's.
