I also have an "attic" directory and I use it for files that don't need to be backed up in my regular backup schedule. It contains stuff that I've already archived or that wouldn't be badly missed if I lost it. I'm also considering a adding a place for stuff I know won't be of any use or interest after a few years. I do this already with my dead tree files of receipts and such. I keep things in the order filed and throw out some of the oldest when the file drawer gets full. I should be able to do this for similar computer based data by occasionally purging files with old dates.
