I agree that in an ideal case the data wouldn’t be collected or stored.

My concern is once it has, is it better to build a capability that can specifically be used to identify personal data to remove it or to let it lie.

I’m glad you have moral certainty on that. It’s certainly never been that clear to me.

If you are able to build something to identify PII from your dataset, anyone is. So if you "let it lie", once you (inevitably) leak the data, someone else can just build that same thing and get the PII.
