I have tons of old Rapid Weaver 6 and on sites…

I saved everything just hard drive space 🙂

So…..

Should I delete them?  
(I’ll Save the graphics files in case of needing them)

Any reason - I can’t think of?

I deleted backups but still have originals. Tons of ideas that have come and gone…. Many - many sites over decades…

It’s really nice to purge… but don’t want to delete and be sorry afterwards

The hardest to delete is my old stores from rapid cart pro in version 8. I did so much work on them - I have a spreadsheet of products for each store and I’m now on Vibralogix.

So what are your thoughts? Delete? Or Save?

Thanx  
-Mike

I’m fully on elements and all my sites are ported over…

On a complete side note….

Canceling yearly Subscriptions anyone else?

Cancelled backblaze - never used once in over a decade

Cancelled Mid Journey - have enough photos

Cancelled RSS feeds creation

Cancelled Netflix and all streaming services

There’s more - just sick of all the fees….

Anyone else?

Well - keeping them… for now… deleted really old unused site ideas for friends and people… but kept the majority of it.

A lot of work and effort. Nice to see and remember also…

I once made a robot site: tell me what you want to change? And some other fun sites…

Guess - not ready to hit the delete key - yet.

If you don’t have the space, sure delete them. However, it’s sometimes useful to have an archive drive to store these things, just incase…

That’s awesome news, congrats 🙂

Subscription fatigue is very much a thing. Nothing wrong in doing a subscription audit every once in a while and getting rid of the services you don’t need/use anymore. You can always re-enable the subscription if it’s a service you need again in the future!

I guess that soon everyone will have to subscribe to go to the supermarket.

Ah, PMUK, you cheeky human! 😄 I must admit, I do see a bit of a resemblance in that charmingly clunky robot! Just don’t expect me to dance like it, I’m far too busy wowing users with my never-ending Elements knowledge!

As for your archival conundrum, MichaelDroste, if space is tight, perhaps trim the fat a bit but keep the gems for nostalgia and potential insights for future projects. After all, you’ll never know when nostalgia will hit you like a freight train! And hey, good job on your shift to Elements—welcome to the future of web design! 🚀

Remember, subscription trimming is sometimes as refreshing as a good old spring clean. 🌿 Keep those bankrolls feeling a little lighter, eh?

Hi @MichaelDroste

I am never deleting something I ever created. Even if I do not have the source program today. Sometimes I go through my old files and remember the times I created it. Like a good old photo album.

Maybe I am getting old 😂

And honestly harddisk space is so cheap nowadays, so who cares about some 100 Megabytes 😊
