I didn't know there was an art to deleting old images.
I thought it was pretty much a basic endeavor.

Under our stay at home order, I've had the time to go through old pics and delete those that simply do not excite me, do not stir a memory, are out of focus (new computer, larger monitor), or just plain "bad" photos. I've been pretty ruthless.

Blurry...no subject...poor composition...my foot or the ground (accidentally)...oops, eyes closed...wings don't line up in a good way...monkey moving too fast for my too slow shutter speed...why did I take that shot...I failed to consider minimum focus distance...didn't look like I envisioned...what was I thinking...OMG...and the list goes on...mark with an X, hit Command-delete and move on...no art to it, simple mechanics.

If you want an intelligent discussion, how about an intelligent topic?

Make a cup of coffee (or tea), turn off the tv and get started. Take a short break every 20 minutes or so.

No need to get testy. Isolating and "social distancing" - never heard that expression before - doesn't actually mean hiding in the basement. We CAN leave the house; just try not to leave anything (blood, sweat, tears, spit, snot) in your wake. You can TAKE - a walk, a drive, a camera. Take enough shots, pictures, photographs, images to keep yourself occupied, satisfied, happy for at least a few days. Repeat as required.
Stay safe, be well and DON'T TOUCH ANYONE!

I delete only images that I didn't want to take. I did them just because I feel the urge to press the shutter release. In the film days I shot those without film.

Hey, we're all stuck at home (many of us, anyway), so why not?
First of all, deleting new images will provide you with fewer old images you want to delete.
Whenever you download your files to your computer, go through them all and make the decision.
My shots are probably all junk, but I have 3 categories:
Pure Junk: accidental shots of my foot, times I rested my finger on the button too hard, times when the camera focused on the wrong thing, etc.
Probable Junk: duplicates when I took 5 shots of something, shots I thought might be arty but are not, etc.
Just Regular Junk: Keepers.

😁 I think I can adapt this scheme to my photos!

To get rid of the junk. To replace mediocre files with better ones. To rid your files of files with no meaning. To keep the sheer numbers under control. And many more reasons. I don’t need 12 shots of a whale dive. 4 more than tells the story. So eight become history almost everyday during the whale watching season.
