Maybe they could do the world a favour and delete it - along with the backups.

I doubt there's any such thing as backups, nothing on there is permanent that's why so many archive sites exist.

No. For the same reason that they didn't demolish Auschwitz. We must learn from our follies, lest we repeat them.
