Yeah, a few times I've tried to prune my collection of photos/ripped-mp3s/movies/whatever. I've always given up after I'm 1 hour in and still have like 98% of the collection to go.
It is kinda like how the old Yahoo-organized-like-a-library died out in favor of the Google-just-search-everything approach. Unless you're triaging as you go (which still takes tons of time; do people really go through 1,000 photos after their 3 week holiday to Iceland and keep just the 15-20 best?) it is easy to build up an insurmountable backlog where the only viable option is just "delete everything".
I actually did that with my old collection of ripped-from-CD mp3s and just resigned myself to streaming anything I really cared about. But you can't exactly do that with "family photos".
