 '''Output of lengthy processing'''. It might feel necessary to keep those files but we would argue it is usually not worth the cost of the storage unless there is a clear indication they will be used again soon. The first reason is that with current modern programming techniques a lot of lengthy processing can be shortened significantly. The second reason is the very real cost of the storage is not worth the very hypothetical time saved in the future.
