Hi Brian,
From an e-discovery standpoint, there are several reasons to continue to
delete records according to your retention schedules -- the foremost one
being costs involved in having to preserve, retrieve, review, and produce
the records in event of litigation. The following articles should be of some
assistance:
Lawson, Stephen. "Why IT Should Start Throwing Data Away." Infoworld (May 6,
2009). Available at

Nash, Kim S. "E-Mail Retention: The High Cost of Digging Up Data." Baseline
Magazine (August 2, 2006). Online.

Sliwa, Carol. "E-discovery Requests have Growing Impact on Data Storage."

Also, if you have access to a law library, you should also see:
Mason, Andrew M. "Throwing Out the (Electronic) Trash: True Deletion would
Soothe E-Discovery Woes." Minnesota Journal of Law, Science & Technology 7,
no. 2 (May, 2006): 777-795.
Ries, David E. "Records Management: Current Issues in Retention,
Destruction, and E-Discovery." Pennsylvania Bar Association Quarterly 78
(2007): 139-159.
