i'm such people who is wild about clear up.
i like to delete messages soon after i read it,nomatter the mobiletelephone message or email ones. i know some persons don't,they always keep it even they are out and useless. while for me,i take it an eyesore and delete it soon.
besides,i like to clean the recycle bin in my computer with a close frequency.
what about you? dou you have such odd habit like me?6 people like this

don't you think it's a little space-consuming especially there are many emails in your inbox.

I often delete my cell phone messages,because I sometimes you will read some happy joks,and also you will read some bad thing,in that case, I choose to delete them all. I know something is uncontrolled, so I need to face the new thing. But I don't always delete my emails, because my memory is not very good ,I need some emails to remind me of something.

Unless it is one of those message I want to keep, I delete the message as soon as I read it.

Yes,I do like to get rid of a lot of message and e-mail as soon as possible and I tend to put things in the recycle bin but I do not final delete these as I may want to bring them back to use someday. My wife never deletes anything and she keeps a very clean house but she is more interested in playing hours of literati.
But most of the data goes ASAP..thankx for the good post.

No I dont delete messages after I have read them and so you would hate the state of all of my inboxes because they are cluttered and crowded! I always delete all the messages out of my phone when its full and I have no choice, my email inbox isnt too bad but still could do with a bit more cleaning up. Its just such a pain to do all the time!

To the contrary, i delete messages before i read them because I have been afflicted by a host of spam on subjects that clearly are intended to waste my time, so i delete such messages before i read them

i understand you,as i have the similar experience to you. while many subscribed message can be canceled,or even to delete them before reading is something troublesome.

yes,it's a reasonable way to deal with messages in our mails or mobiletelephone. but for me,i just can't help deleting them,seldom considering to their importance.

I am an untidy person and therefore I do not keep deleting messages until my inbox is nearly full then I have a blitz on it and clear it out

i'm thinking keeping messages for long is the odd habit.
i can't really tell why i'm keeping them but for some reason/s i do not delete messages, either text via phone or emails, until i ran out of space.

Yes, if the message is not very important. But if the message is important, I will send it to my archive and keep it up to 30 days and then after I know that message is no longer important I will delete it also.

I usually delete those useless messages like phone company promotions, one time reminders and other miscelleanous messages. However, I will keep those meaningful messages and encouraging quotes from friends, love ones and family members. This is for me when I need to have a pick me up, besides storage for me is never an issue as I have so much storage memory with my smartphone.

In my email I delete those not important ones. I even saved those that are of importance and mails that can help me in a way, reference materials. Same with my inbox on my cell phone. I saved items that I like and those coming from my friends and loved ones. I am a sentimental person and I like to read and re-read nice quotes from them.

I an just like you. I imediately delete the message after i have read. i also empty the recycle bin as soon as i delete something. i think that i have this habit and if i dont do that i dont feel comfortable. I dont like unwanted messages in my inbox. its kind of an obsession for me.

I delete the messages if they are just a casula coversation and nothing of any importance however, I saved messages that I find worth keeping like a message from my husband or a quote that I find truly inspiring.
There are some text messages in my phone dated 2005! In the enxt coming months, I will delete some of it since it's way too old already.
