15 I have to say, most of mine is useful stuff. I have smaller files that
16 show the wiring for my car speaker system. I have documents that I sent
17 to Social Security and State offices concerning my disability. I also
18 have some financial info, encrypted of course, stored here. My smaller
19 stuff is important to keep. My larger stuff is videos and camera pics.
20 Just as examples:
21
22 9.4G /home/dale/Desktop/Music
23 1.1T /home/dale/Desktop/Videos
24 16G /home/dale/Desktop/Documents/Camera-pics
25 5.2G /home/dale/Desktop/Documents/Kathie-camera
26 4.4G /home/dale/Desktop/Documents/Recipes
27
28 That's just a example. You may notice, videos is by far the largest
29 thing I have tho. It takes up a LOT of space.

31 I may could clean up some of that stuff a bit but it wouldn't be much.
32 I generally store stuff in a temp location until I know if I need it
33 long term. Stuff like exploded views of my washing machine. When I
34 know it is the right one for my washing machine, I move it to a
35 permanent location. If it turns out to be the wrong one or I can't fix
36 the appliance, I chunk the appliance and then trash the files too. I
37 also keep the last two versions of sysrescue for my USB stick. That
38 reminds me, I need to test the latest one to make sure it works, when I
39 reboot again. :/

41 Yea, I'm one weird cookie. lol
