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: |

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 |

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. :/ |
