Are you hoarding old files?

Yes, and I don't have backups for anything. Hoping my drives fail one day and that gives me the motivation to go out and do something with my life.
>>
Yes.

I have saved light novel translations from random translators. Most of these series aren't completely translated, but I've kept them since I thought they were going to be fully translated.

I can't bear to delete them.
>>

Yes.
>>
Yeah I need to go through my downloads folder and delete some anime and old shit.
>>
Yeah, I delete old shit all the time. Stuff that I thought I'd cherish forever.

I've deleted: thousands of bookmarks; thousands and thousands of random pics from the boorus and 4chan; hard-to-find books and other media.

It's always hard to delete at first, but then I realize life is short, and I have to prioritize only what I need and will ever reasonably use.

I don't really miss anything I've deleted, and it's nice only having stuff I will actually use.
>>
Not really. Unless you count vacation photos and shit.

Even though I backup my home folder I don't always use all the files there.

I kinda clean here and there every now and then.
>>
>>55057564
yea like 5TBs

>>55057564
Yes, until I run low on space. Which hasn't happened yet so I have a gazillion file that maybe need to be deleted.
>>
Depends on how hard it was to find
>>
I was, but I recently did a factory wipe of my machine... man I feel so free
>>
Yes. Although, I got drunk last year and repartitioned a drive 'cause I was sure it didn't have anything important on it. Lost all the guitar tabs for stuff I wrote as a teenager. It's mostly shit, but had sentimental value. Couldn't recover it either :(

n..n...n..no

my biggest problem is that it's just in layers and layers of unsorted "clean up" folders so I'll never have a nice orderly system because cleaning it up is too big of a task
>>
>>55065999

Why wouldn't you just keep them in an encrypted volume?
>>
>>55057564
I have a small hoard of proprietary UNIX/Linux and "classic" Mac OS software among other things
