I don't delete things by default but generally everything I might care about automatically gets backed up off device. I have seen lots of stress and turmoil from people needing to get data off of their old devices and being unable to do so. At any given moment, I would be comfortable throwing my phone off a cliff, in that I wouldn't worry about losing data. Anything of sentimental or practical value is backed up.

Similarly with Git, I rarely use stashes. If I have to switch contexts, anything I care about gets committed to a branch (and ideally pushed to a remote) or I blow it away.
