Once I was done, I started taking more photos.Needless to say, there’s no perfect software, but you can always get the one that flawlessly combines powerful capabilitiess, ease of use, and affordable price. As I sifted through the tens of thousands of photos I’ve taken during two-thirds of my life, there was a satisfying glow to the process-a nostalgia vortex.

However, my obsession with organizing my digital life-including operating a strict WhatsApp Zero policy-means that I would be fully satisfied with the job only if I did it manually. It’s also possible to free up some of your account’s space by shrinking the size of photos by dropping them to “storage saver quality.” Its storage management tools allow you to delete large photos and videos in bulk and get rid of screenshots and blurry photos. And pictures can be siphoned off into albums (it was too late for me). You can archive photos if you don’t want to delete them or keep them in your main photo library. Google has some tools to help you manage your photos.

Before I started deleting everything, I’d used up around 80 GB of storage I’ve decreased this to about 60 GB. Plus, practically speaking, there’s now more space in my Google account. Now I plan on sorting the most recent photos once a year. In another 10 years, I may have taken an extra 20,000 to 40,000 photos. If I had waited another few years, the task would have been too daunting to even start. Once sorted, it has been easier to find specific events and the best photos from them. Ever-expanding cloud storage makes it possible to keep taking photos and adding to the pile. But there are other reasons to spend some time clearing up your photos.
