"When I first started using #PKM tools, I believed I was solving a problem of forgetting. Later, I believed I was solving a problem of integration. Eventually, I realized I had created a new problem: deferral. The more my system grew, the more I deferred the work of thought to some future self who would sort, tag, distill, and extract the gold.
That self never arrived."
@Daojoan

Many good points here. #Tana keeps helping me make good use of past notes (personal writing from the past), but it never felt as a #secondbrain.

Why I Erased 10,000 Notes, 7 Years of Ideas, and Every Thought I Tried to Save
Westenberg.I Deleted My Second BrainWhy I Erased 10,000 Notes, 7 Years of Ideas, and Every Thought I Tried to Save

Unlike most people, I'm incredibly unsentimental about my notes. So, when @Daojoan wrote that she deleted her second brain I nodded in understanding. I used to do just that with my worklogs.

A second brain isn't a shrine. It's just a utility. A tool. I don't even think my thoughts are especially, well, noteworthy.

If you want to delete a second brain and start anew, you totally can!
