Ah, I was hoping someone would start this.

I packrat photos, documents, letters, and stuff that has personal relevance to me. If I have two decent, almost identical photos from my digicam, I have trouble throwing one out. I don't save jokes, flash vids, music, or stuff like that from the internet though. My exbf does, and his computer can provide a long period of laughter.

Yes. Completely. Its easier for me to clean my room than my computer. Mixing cable internet with a 120GB HD= tons of..stuff. I never bother deleting anything.

every other week. I have about a months (@ 4 movies a day) worth of unwatched movies in cache just in case I either lose my job or optimum online goes down for a prolonged period.

I keep EVERYTHING that I ever created myself. Photos, homework, photoshop stuff. I've deleted some of it in the past only to wish I hadn't later.

Other than that, I only keep stuff that's hard to find or takes a long time to download.

I'm about the same, except that I do keep some music files (all legal, of course) on my HD for easy access.
