If I'm running low on space I just buy another drive set of drives > mirror > copy data to bigger drives > make older drives available for backups. Deletion is a last resort.

my secondary only had 2gb left
after some cleaning I had 100gb  :'( I think I need more storage and my external drives are completely filled with photos and backups.

I don't delete data, I collect it. 30TB of meticulously organized "stuff", with multiple redundant backups for anything even slightly important. When a drive gets full, I do a cursory inspection for dupes and dead file structures, then get another drive and add it to the stack.

Some cleaning the other helped me out, I probably could save lot of place on the NAS if I took some time to clean it, I'll most likely add harddrive whenever I'm out of place.

I'd recommend soap and water to get the best results :))




I'm joking, hope no one actually does that...But if they do record it .-.

I downloaded LoL a while ago but I lost all desire to play. I'm sure I have a few steam games I could clear out as well :p

Hey, my file structure is meticulous, I just don't delete unless needed. Messy folder structure tho? Ugh, it'd kill me. Everything needs to be in its place.
