: Wrong, almost exactly the opposite in fact:
: 
: Flash devices using wear-levelling should have data erased as soon as
: possible to give the wear-levelling the maximum amount of information
: and available space to work with.

The formula for flash life has two components: The percentage of space
available and the data rate.  So the more space, the longer it will
last for a given rate.
