Instead of deleting the data, they could archive it like I have, and move it
to another database. Set a script to run and archive it to an alternate database.
If you want access to the archived information, have it come from the archived
database, which gets a lower priority on the processor then current data.
Why keep data, why not? The storage of a database for the data is nearly free
(500 GB hard drives are $40 currently, and can hold decades of database text
data).
