Mostly rewrite. Deleting will have a negative impact on your website, especially if you're ranking for certain keywords.

Updating under performing content is usually the best approach, as it boosts your site's relevance and avoids the complexities of redirects. This helps improve performance and maintain user engagement.
However, if the content is outdated or no longer aligns with your site's goals, deletion may be necessary. In such cases, always implement a 301 redirect to a relevant page to preserve SEO value and ensure a seamless user experience.

I have suggestions for you.
Update and Optimize: Improve content, SEO, and add internal links instead of deleting or rewriting completely.
Redirect if Necessary: If you cannot improve the post, set up a 301 redirect to preserve SEO value.
Delete (Only if Necessary): Delete if the post is outdated or irrelevant, but ensure you use redirects to avoid losing traffic or backlinks.
Impact on SEO: Deleting a post without redirecting can hurt SEO by losing backlinks and traffic. It's better to update or redirect if possible.

Do not delete it, simply improve it as best you can and continue to create and publish new articles.

Avoid overthinking it, as this can become overwhelming, this is a common challenge in SEO.

I've learned this the hard way, but it's a necessary part of the learning process.

I usually just rewrite them. It's more convenient for me
