I have thousands of photos from 2005 to ~2014, lousily sorted by the year and some events, stored on a USB HDD. The last year I took a camera again, with a mobile photo too. After a couple of hundreds of shots and a futile attempt to manage them I understood what while some photos could be of interest for me a couple decades later, if I don't have a strong desire to save some exact shots now - I just wipe them all. Of course I found myself wanting to show a couple of photos half a year after I wiped them, but the value was in showing them to a person I unexpectedly met again, not in the photos themselves. I still don't touch my old library. "Some other day". Though if I manage to organize and merge my two NextCloud instances I would probably upload some of the photos to it for the safekeeping.
