My Thursday writing session went so bad I deleted 4,000 words at 2am

Sat down at 9pm last Thursday to finally fix the middle chunk of my draft. By 11pm I had rewritten the same paragraph six times and it kept getting worse. Then I scrolled up and saw I had cut the one scene my friend in my writing group told me was the only part that worked. At 2am I just highlighted everything, hit delete, and closed the laptop. The whole thing was 4,000 words and I have nothing to show for it this week. Does anyone else keep a graveyard file for the stuff you delete, or do you just let it go for real?
