Between my dad and I, we'd accumulated several hundred floppies with software, pictures, data, whatever stuff we'd accumulated over the years. I embarked on a big project somewhere around 1998 or so to copy all the contents of the floppies onto my hard drive and sort through it all, and... I just... petered out after a while.

Whatever it seemed like worth saving just really wasn't.

I discovered that's largely true of my Downloads folder. Every so often I go move all the contents to an archive folder, and anything that was in the archive folder gets deleted. I always think "I should keep this around in case I need it!" and whenever I do need it (like a new computer or reinstalling the OS or whatever), I just go grab what I need or install using choco or winget or of course apt for Linux or whatever..... Docs/pics/vids I keep elsewhere, of course, but all that download stuff just adds up to wasted drive space. heh
