Refreshing outdated content can help when the information, intent, or page quality has genuinely changed, pruning can also help in some cases, but deleting content just for the sake of reducing page count isn't automatically beneficial
 
Yes, refreshing content can help when the page is outdated or no longer fully matches search intent. I usually update old information, improve weak sections, remove unnecessary parts, and make sure the page answers the query clearly.

Definitely but only when done with purpose. removing outdated fluff and adding fresh, useful information can give content a second life. A simple date change won't fool google, sadly the algorithm isn't that easily impressed. Real improvements in depth, accuracy and user value are what move the needle.

sometimes i have seen stale content come alive from correcting intent mismatch, but increasing the words count was almost useless in itself
 
Yes, refreshing outdated content can help improve rankings if you add useful, updated information. Pruning thin or irrelevant pages can also help, but I’d focus on improving content rather than deleting pages just because they get low traffic.
