That's up to you and how much free space you have I delete the raw files but keep the small rendered file because the version on YouTube is re-encoded and has worse quality even when you use their download function.

I keep my videos on my computer for a little while but after a month or so I delete them and clean out my entire videos files besides my intro video because it takes up space on my computer and I don't want my computer becoming slow. I wait a month to delete them just in case I need to use that video file again for some reason.

I have a hard drive on which I store all the raw files and edited files after I'm done with them, so I don't waste my computer's space.

I personally delete them but thats only for file storage rather than me not wanting the content.

I usually delete mine after a while, but I think I'm going to start saving them somewhere to have them. Since like now if I were to want to make a new channel trailer or something, I have deleted all the old footage to put on it and would have to film a whole new trailer or would need to wait until I had enough new footage to take parts to put together for the new trailer. You sometimes don't realize you need things until they are gone.

I've been keeping them for so long. I suppose it's in case suddenly all my videos dissapear?

I back up all my files online (backblaze ) and in a physical hard drive. It really hurts when you lose all your files, it sucks.

I delete 'em. I don't really care about the consequences aslong as I'm careful with what I'm doing!
