What's the advantage to deleting? It's easy to ignore anything old and disk space is cheap. Do you delete old photos?

My point of view is what's the advantages of keeping it?

I keep photos, though I don't keep all photos. But emails and messages? Why...

I've always run my own backup systems, from 150Mb QIC tape days. It became a habit to keep critical things to the minimum to reduce the number of tapes required.

As for photos, I print maybe 1 out of 100 and don't bother with the rest.
