    I wouldn't. Just file them away just in case.

    I agree. You never know when some question will arise that would be easily dealt with if only you'd kept the paperwork.

    Scan to pdf and save the pdf, throw the physical pieces of paper away, unless any are needed legally to be shown for any reason. Print off from pdf if a query arises.

    Thin them out. Keep statements / correspondence - particularly with reference nos. Ditch projections marketing etc

    A sound idea as long you got proper back up saved somewhere else. It would be a shame if it is saved only on one computer and it gets lost due to a computer error.
