Sorry Vlad - Ithink I'm with Lachlan on this one...
Docs can be edited or re-written but if they're obsolete, you don't need to
delete them - just don't link to them...
If there's a conflict in nomenclature, like having a file called "logo.gif"
for a company logo and you've a logo for one of their products also called
"logo.gif" then you've got a problem with your naming conventions.
Can you please suggest a reason why there would be an absolute need to
delete a file?
BTW: I'm not saying that under no circustances should precious bytes be
wiped off the grid! But unless there's a strongly powerful reason, I would
think that there's no need to delete files...
R ;o)
PS: Let's point out that the article Lachlan's referring to was written by
the guy who invented the web so it's not exactly an unreliable source.

Lachlan, I'd hate to think that you are giving advice based on an article
you've read or from the practice of operating a personal blog. So I am going
to assume that you are basing your advice on years of experience in managing
large Web sites with hundreds of staff content contributors. So, before we
all remove the "Delete" button in our content management systems, can you
please let us know on which projects you have successfully applied the
principle of "no document should ever be deleted"?
Regards,
-Vlad
