The rules on what companies can do with collected data is starting to change as more privacy laws are being passed. It started with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in the European Union. With it came heavy fines if you were found using collected consumer data improperly.

With the Microsoft Power Platform Dataverse storage price increases in full effect, you should ask yourself if you are truly getting value from ALL of the data in your Dataverse.  I'm sure you leverage most of your active core records like Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Cases, Opportunities and Activities, but now is the time to ask yourself some difficult questions like:

Do I interact with ALL of my data?
Do I need to retain INACTIVE records?
Should I keep ACTIVITY history if it's older than a couple years?
Can I delete devalued data, or ARCHIVE it for compliancy purposes?

Your answers will vary from mine, but inevitability you will find that you are paying a PREMIUM  for data that has little value in your Dataverse.
