How old is the data on your phone?
A new survey of 2,000 Americans found that 52% have never deleted any files, apps, or anything else from their devices. A third of those surveyed said they have files on their phones that are at least 10 years old
Just over 40% said they actively avoid deleting pictures and videos while 78% transfer files from one device to the other when they upgrade.
Oddly enough, people hold on to old files while 24% say they would be embarrassed if someone went through their digital device.
Many other respondents said they consider their old files memories that they don’t want to lose (35%). Another 32% said they consider clearing out old files to be a boring chore, and 26% feel too guilty about deleting their old files.
