What’s worth deleting?
[a] > all your purged images (from back in 2016) IF there’s no data in the info fields (or by clicking on the blanked image) that would help you find and upload an identical fresh image to put in your posts that currently show this instead: ⇒
..or if you’re not inclined to do all the laborious stuff of finding that replacement and then finding the diary/article/story where you used it and then re-editing … bin the purged image! Nothing to lose, right?
[b] images you loaded that you never actually used and neither did anyone else (there’s a note about usage in comments and diaries just above the “Add a tag” bar.)
[c] What else??? discuss in the comment thread. If possible, I’ll revise this post to include more ideas.

What’s worth not uploading in the first place?
Anything you’ve uploaded before, or that someone else did. Every image in the library is kinda infinitely re-useable. So, anytime you want to use a given image again, just scroll down your own MY IMAGES collection until you find it, to select for current use the usual way….
..which is often WAY FASTER than uploading it again. Especially if you or other folks have tagged it or filled in the info fields with data good for finding it again by using the image library SEARCH BOX ….
..just type a search term there or click there to make this list appear for, well, narrowing your search more precisely. The parameter[s] you select will be displayed in the search box, and you can then type the details in, e.g., uploader’s name, attribution of the image itself, or/and so on.
A lot of the time, though, just typing a detail like that into the search box, without even calling up that list, can be pretty speedy. Multi-word search terms will get you images with data matching one or both/all of the words. And unless you put a period at the end of a word you typed in, you’ll get not only all images with that word in their data but also all images with that word as PART of words in their data, e.g., if you type “thanks” in you’ll get a lot of Thanksgiving images as well as images of the word “thanks” and images with description paragraphs including that word, e.g., some candidate described as expressing her/his thanks for the efforts of the campaign donors and works.
..sometimes I get lost in the image library for hours, there’s SO much great stuff there! :)
