citizenship and proof of residency

To be sure that I can prove my residency to the Home Office, at home I have a shelve full of documents dating back to 2013. Tons of them.

But now I've finally got my ILR in a form of EU Settled status. Plan is to apply for British citizenship in a years time.

Question: Will I stil need all the 'proof of residency' documents or can I chuck them? Will I ever have to proof my residency again? I love to keep my tiny studio clean and beutiful so binning these shelve would be great.

I think if you are from EU you need letter from employer. Maybe P60s for 6 years will do.

So I will have to prove 6 years when applying for citizenship? For most of the time I've been self employed via my LTD doing my and my company accounts by myself. Home Office refused to accept to my P60s as they are not signed by a qualified accountant. Hence I have tons of documents to prove my residency using different documentation.
