So yeah, do you remove your downloaded items from your "Download" folder? If so, why? If not, you are cool because you are like me and just let them accumulate until I look like a download hoarder.
I'm wondering because it's something I have been thinking about :lol:
It is better to clear up downloaded items which are not in use. This will help you to clear up unwanted files in your drive to make your computer run smoothly. Also if you have the fear of finding and downloading the items again, then you can better plan for a backup for the downloaded items in an external flash drive or a DVD.
Most of the download files I download are installers for free software like Firefox, LibreOffice, etc, so I usually clear them when I finish installing the software since installers get outdated when a new version is released.
I backup important files I download like MP3s, etc to another drive.
Hah, ironic topic here! I actually cleared mine a few weeks ago because I was riding on 200GB in my downloads folder. Now, it's back up there because I've been doing a lot of web work.
It's bad because I use the Downloads folder to store important stuff as well.
