TBD on Ning
Cleaning out things--and a suprise find.
A few days ago, I decided to clear out my huge graphics folder. When I had pages at another site, I used a lot of graphics. I had 'theme pages': everything from my favorite tv shows to my favorite colors, etc. My Graphics folder, even after a bit of weeding, was still 20.2 GB. Within two days, that 'huge' folder was down to 9GB! And there's still almost 50 folders to go through. I'm sure most of those are Duplicates, so...I don't expect to keep many from those folders.
My main idea was to keep only what I'd use here, in emails, or in my digital photo device; then I wanted to be sure I had two complete copies of 'everything' I want to save. Years ago, I lost a lot of things when my 2T drive quit. Now, I have a 5T external drive plus 4 flash drives. Hopefully, once I have this done, even if 'something' quits, I'll still have everything I want to save: family photos, fonts I use, digital books I have but haven't read, and yes, graphics.
I've also been cleaning out other things besides things on my computer. I found a box of Star Trek magazines and some old Fanzines (mainly Star Trek, but some Dr. Who). Today I decided to read one that sounds very interesting: "The Doctor and The Enterprise". It's a crossover story where Dr. Who accidentally lands on the Enterprise (Star Trek). I know I've read it, years ago, but I don't remember anything about it. So that's my 'book' for tonight.

I'm down to the final Folder in Graphics!! What is 'done' is now 1.6GB, with 336MB in the final folder (TV graphics/pics). So the final 'count' will be well under 2GB. Wow. That's quite a difference from 20+GB.
A few days ago, I got out my digital photo display & put on "Nature pictures", which included one of our town square and courthouse. Yesterday, I changed that to 'Sci Fi' pictures (since I'd found a folder of those). I plan on changing this weekly now. And I remembered why I put it away: even when I turn it OFF, it frequently turns itself ON, lol.

Wow, still about 7.13 GB total graphics; but I'm working on 'all sigs' now--deleted 800 yesterday! Got to the point whereI clicked on 'delete all'. Now that folder is down to 237MB, with a number of folders to go through.

I got sidetracked with health problems and other things, but before I 'stopped', I had the Graphics folder down to 7.35 GB.
