I deleted it once. It turned out useful. The best companies in my area recruit from LinkedIn. Don't apply for jobs there, fish for recruiters. Visibility helps. Befriend the recruiters that match your virtues (things like no long interviews or whatever). I try to avoid the social media aspect. LI feels like a sink for all the social media. If people want to self-promote, they do it less on other sites.
