The so-called "digital hoarding" might not be an obsession but a perfectly reasonable approach when the time needed to clean up the contents of your archive would cost more than you are willing to pay. Google was one of the first companies explicitly encouraging this behavior (displaying "Why delete email when you can archive it?" when you tried to remove messages). After all, it's not easy to be 100% whether you are going to need a particular document or not. And, given the fact that archiving is cheap, it seems more reasonable not to take the risk.
