Bad idea. This will break TYPO3 reference index and create a lot of
junk in TYPO3.

I think you can just make an extension that uses hooks in TCEmain to
copy the file to archive before it is deleted. It is better because
you can have configurable archive location and can even sort files
by table (i.e. tt_news files go to /path/to/archive/tt_news-files).
This has only advantages: nothing is broken and all archiving logic
is isolated in your extension.
