The phrase “data is the new oil” has created a misconception that all pieces of data have value and so it should be stored. Thinking that there is value in data, all types of data collecting entities such as individuals, companies, government departments and professionals, etc. are in the habit of storing data indefinitely, beyond their regulatory obligations or operational needs, leading to data bloating.
