Anything that you stashed just for convenience, but you could re-download or re-generate it if really needed, or simply live without it... frankly, like 90% of stuff on my disks fall in the category "I'll read/view it one day", which in reality I'll probably never have time or patience to open ever again.

Strange, 90% of the things trapped in my flash memory are system files.

You should get another drive and reserve it to Data. The cost is negligible and it really makes everything much simpler.

Optimizing your system or upgrading it just becomes a "trash boot drive and reinstall" operation, applied without a care in the world.
