They retain the personal data for 15-25 years after the grant of settlement and naturalization.

They are not recycling data at the moment:
However, it should be noted that the Jay Inquiry, which commenced in February 2015, has placed a moratorium on the disposal of all records throughout the Home Office, including all operational records and case files. This is currently in force and will remain so until further notice. It does not apply where there is a statutory requirement to delete data.
