We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I know but I have to let them go I guess for my mental health too. I just hope this wont be me back in the future.

So on the grand scheme of things, someone out there is definitely holding on to them so no harm no foul. That being said, what the guy at the top comment implied is that 8GB is such a small amount of space that you shouldn't even have to "worry" about keeping it, just keep it because its so small it won't do you no harm to have it around.

Or dump it into data hoarders and let someone else take the storing burden.
