Most Fortune 500 companies have a document retention policy that every employee needs to read the generic training video/documents on when getting hired and agree to.

This sets a general policy of deleting documents/emails/etc after $X days. This is really a CYA policy to purge old conversations if a big lawsuit comes down asking for document retention in relation to some scandal, and if its older than $X days you're covered since your standard legal process was followed.

Also depending on industry you may by law need to delete things.
