hi Zjerf,
My old org went through this many years ago. I would put them in buckets.
Our buckets were roughly:

1. Old videos that were so old that could be moved to a location that
was only accessed by admins.
2. Old videos that were still live, but a replacement was also live, so
it could be moved to a location like #1.
3. Old videos that a replacement was going to be released within [agreed
upon period].

There were probably a few more buckets that I am forgetting. This allowed
us have a pile that were a lot more manageable.
