Are you a “digital horder?

Is your computer or smartphone running slow?

Maybe you need a “digital detox”.

A new study in the NY Post found 52% of us are “digital horders”…letting all of our photos, songs and other files pile up to the point that we’ve never deleted a single file from any of our devices and 33% are holding onto stuff that’s more than 10 years old!

Why?

We’re worried we might need them someday and we don’t want to let go of old “memories”.

Also 78% of us have transferred old files to another device to avoid deleting them and 24% would be embarrassed if someone went through their digital stuff.

On average, about 25% of your storage is devoted to old, unnecessary files.
