THAT is the best way to look at the matter.

How often are you entering data into gnucash?  << SOME of the 
organizations for which I keep books are low volume, either all the time 
or varying by season, etc. >>

How often are you backing up ALL user data on your computer? << Because

Is this regular? << or sometimes different >>

For example, if you are using gnucash daily, and doing data backups 
weekly, then 15 days is a LONG time to be keeping them. But if you are 
only entering data once a month or so and backing up monthly, FAR too 
short. Thus for the organizations where this is highly irregular (busy 
times of year, several times per week; quiet times monthly if that) I 
delete them manually. But for organizations where more regular, can use 
a retention period.
