But I didn't know that postgres would need that file! If I knew it, I'd

Not sure that would have mattered for the reasons below.
You might want to take a look at the below:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/wal.html
In particular:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/wal-intro.html
Short version WAL files are essential to restoring and on the
originating server are recycled, subject to the configuration parameters
explained here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/wal-configuration.html
So the wal archiving you have set up is not storing everything, it
removes older files over time?
