I have to say, most of mine is useful stuff.  I have smaller files that 
show the wiring for my car speaker system.  I have documents that I sent 
to Social Security and State offices concerning my disability.  I also 
have some financial info, encrypted of course, stored here.  My smaller 
stuff is important to keep.  My larger stuff is videos and camera pics.  
Just as examples:

9.4G    /home/dale/Desktop/Music
1.1T    /home/dale/Desktop/Videos
16G     /home/dale/Desktop/Documents/Camera-pics
5.2G    /home/dale/Desktop/Documents/Kathie-camera
4.4G    /home/dale/Desktop/Documents/Recipes

That's just a example.  You may notice, videos is by far the largest 
thing I have tho.  It takes up a LOT of space.

I may could clean up some of that stuff a bit but it wouldn't be much.  
I generally store stuff in a temp location until I know if I need it 
long term.  Stuff like exploded views of my washing machine.  When I 
know it is the right one for my washing machine, I move it to a 
permanent location.  If it turns out to be the wrong one or I can't fix 
the appliance, I chunk the appliance and then trash the files too.  I 
also keep the last two versions of sysrescue for my USB stick.  That 
reminds me, I need to test the latest one to make sure it works, when I 
reboot again.  :/

Yea, I'm one weird cookie.  lol
