Leave it. It was the way it was, when it was, and that’s that :)

I leave it. When i'm done with a story, I don't go back to it. Also, it takes me some time to be able to read it again once I take off my editing hat.

I have stories still up from 10 years ago that I cringe at now. Even though I like most of the plots, the execution wasn't great. I leave them as is partially as a record for growth, but also because I've moved past those stories and don't necessarily want to revisit them. I'm in a different place than I was when I wrote them, and that's okay.

I usually leave them. not really as a record or a meter for growth, but just because those stories are done and they were told the best way they could be a the time.
Thank you for all your answers!
And I find the answer interesting too -- that despite everything you would all keep a story the way it is, because the story is done.
It makes me appreciate stories in a way, that it also tells the story of the writer and appreciating not just a single story but also their body of work.
