What I meant was that this article got me thinking I should just delete my entire hard drive on a regular basis so I can have a clean working surface.

Because I know that my downloads folder and my documents folder and my images folder and my source code folder are all enormous piles of crap.

And it does actually bother me, I just haven't thought of a solution to that.

One solution would be.. automated backups... and then every once in a while, just rm -rf ~
