With images, zipping doesn't do a lot of compression anyway. Zip files can become corrupt and unusable, so its best to back up your supplies in their unzipped format.

It seems to me those are wonderful insurance in case of a computer failure. I used to burn all zipfiles to DVDs, but now that I have a couple of EHDs (one that is 250GB, and the other, 1TB), I store them all there. This was a lifesaver last year when my computer fried because of power surges. Hurricane Omar took our power out for 2 weeks, and when the local company gradually brought everything back up, the intermittent electrical surges were incredible. I know of one techie who lost 3 computers in one day! Because I still had access to those zipfiles, I was able to restore my entire stash! Not only that, I organized everything much better. I didn't bother to unzip a lot of the QP files, though. Now that I'm more proficient with PS CS3, I prefer to create my LOs from scratch rather than use QPs. I love templates, though ... boy, do I love templates! And I love your website! I've learned so much from all the great tips and techniques here.

I do not download a lot of supplies. I have started digital scrapbooking in 2005 and I do not think that I still have any of the stuff that I thought was great then. I delete permanently and I delete the zip files too. I also delete kits that I just got. I do not burn DVDs. I have EHDs. I do not think that I have supply files that I bought prior to 2008.

It's all on my HD, so I don't see any harm keeping a lot of my stuff. I don't have trouble finding anything. Hard drives are cheap nowadays. Then I don't have to spend time actually deciding what to delete. Saves me lots of time! :p I think differently than you when it comes to digital stuff.

I burn PSDs to disk and delete them off my hard drive, but I keep web-sized versions of my layouts on my hard drive. I don't delete extra copies of designer TOUs as long as they're text files, but I have deleted them if they're bigger (PDF or JPEG). I back up all digi purchases and some freebies, but once they're burned to DVD I'm capable of deleting them from my hard drive if I don't expect to use them again.
