> saving them in the first place was a waste of time I think of it like this: Automatically save everything and spend time deleting the things I don't want to keep. vs Manually saving everything. "Don't want to keep" depends on disk space and cluttering up the list as it grows. Disk space is not really a thing. I use to have a friend who spend many hours every week cleaning up his 512 GB drive. He was quite obviously deleting things he wanted to keep but "had to" make choices. I just have enough drives to keep 1 to 3 copies of everything. (The single drive will also fail inevitably) The clutter still seems to happen even if I make the effort to get rid of things. Organizing it a bit, say at least by date is inevitable. Therefore there is nothing to be gained by wasting time saving things. It is more time efficient to waste time by deleting only enormous folders that you clearly don't need to keep around. Hoarding is only an appropriate term if you don't have the space for it. If you have an empty airplane hangar a few boxes of foo isn't hoarding.
