Should I delete them to free up HD space or should I keep them for old time's sake?

Surely most of them must be from the BMP days, before the default file format was changed to JPEG? Or did you set it back to JPEG?

Either way delete them all.

Although hard drive space is so cheap nowadays anyway, 70GB would be ~$7 worth I'm guessing.

And I thought having 24gigs of screen shots was a lot/sad/etc.

Thanks Evil Neato.

That is sick, in so many cool and bad ways.
Get an external HD. 500Gb for £60 ~ $100 isnt so bad.

Too many screens.

Go through them and delete the unliked/unneeded ones.

Then go online and get a recording program like fraps.com and record events instead of take pictures so that you don't have a need to take several pics of one thing.

Also, if you just love screen shots, get a flashdrive.

-and I thought seeing people with gw384 and up names in their attachments was bad-

And I thought that having 776MB of screenshots (I still have a screenshot from 12.09.05...) is bad.

Screenie addict here in any game.

Yeah, my suggestion would be either a) Burn all your fav's to a CD and trash the rest, or b)upload them to a private photo storage. Or, you could do both.

Free up the space and you still have your memories.

Do you play with a finger on the printscreen button? Holy crap.

Save every 17th picture, delete the rest.

Heh, expect 600 or a frame-by-frame animation of him opening the files on his computer.

I recently went through and uploaded all of my files to a hosting site. It was only 1,500 or so but it only took like 2 hours. A couple weeks and you could have that all done and delete them all for a new set. In your case though, it might be more effective to put them on a mass storage device or CD.

98,217 screens. Wow. I'd delete them, or upload some on photobucket or something. However, deleting would be easier and faster than picking some through that huge pile.

In my opinion if youve got enough hard drive space than keep them, if not delete some and keep the best. I must admit I have loads but dont know right now as all stored on an external hard drive lol.
