I've just started using Moodle in a night school high school environment. I have 2 very small groups, so this is a pefect way to test it out.
Anyway, we're two weeks into class, and I'm starting to wonder if, or when (and how) I should be deleting files that students have uploaded and that I have already graded. I certainly don't want to delete their grades, as the course has not ended.
That leads to another question: what do you do when a class has ended? Do you delete the users that were once enrolled? Archive them, their assignments, and grades somehow? Or is the general philosophy to simply allow users, their scores, and assignments to stay in the system rather indefinitely?

When do you delete student assignment uploads?

Thus far we've been keeping courses around indefinitely, and our logs show that students do come back to view the material from time to time (this makes the instructors feel good 
).
There's probably no reason delete anything unless you start to run short of disk space.
We also do an off-site backup once a day, and burn two CDs at the end of the course. One CD remains with us, while the other is given to the instructor for his/her own records.
We allow users to remain in the system indefinitely, because we have a "course" that's used as an online community for our alumni.
