I have smaller files that show the wiring for my car speaker system. I have documents that I sent to Social Security and State offices concerning my disability. I also have some financial info, encrypted of course, stored here. My smaller stuff is important to keep. My larger stuff is videos and camera pics. Just as examples: 9.4G /home/dale/Desktop/Music 1.1T /home/dale/Desktop/Videos 16G /home/dale/Desktop/Documents/Camera-pics 5.2G /home/dale/Desktop/Documents/Kathie-camera 4.4G /home/dale/Desktop/Documents/Recipes That's just a example. You may notice, videos is by far the largest thing I have tho. It takes up a LOT of space. I may could clean up some of that stuff a bit but it wouldn't be much. I generally store stuff in a temp location until I know if I need it long term. Stuff like exploded views of my washing machine. When I know it is the right one for my washing machine, I move it to a permanent location. If it turns out to be the wrong one or I can't fix the appliance, I chunk the appliance and then trash the files too. I also keep the last two versions of sysrescue for my USB stick. That reminds me, I need to test the latest one to make sure it works, when I reboot again. :/ Yea, I'm one weird cookie. lol Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
