Just a reminder to do the necessary to keep the hardware/storage at optimum.

Most OS we use does a journeyman's job of keeping the drives/storage healthy and we don't worry about it all that much...

But you SHOULD always keep in mind your backups, your drive(s), storage---and run housekeeping tasks such as permanent deletes of what you have deleted, cleaning up after moves (drive to another or site), and filtering out all the dupes/double dupes! And defrag the drives.

At least once a year. My dev machine has a number of drives, some external, and after this evening's housekeeping I recovered 1tb of space and make the system a bit zippier. :)

Also cleared out the oldest (and least desired) backups... thus reducing confusions in years to follow.

Find your best path for what you do, what you need to protect, and at the same time realize that in the process of ordinary work you will create, delete, and create and delete again while getting to the finished product ... and all that "ghost stuff" is still on your system, available to be over written---but is not always overwritten, hence the housekeeping.

Sometimes we forget to do this stuff. It is worth the effort to keep our machines running clean and close to the original specs we expect and paid for.

Pick an annual date such as a birthday, anniversary, whatever. Do the job (might take several hours) and clean up your systems to keep them tuned to proper pitch.

If nothing else, enjoy the recovery of used sectors to keep your machines fresh.
