That is really up to you. Personally I saved a few because I knew I would like to look back on my year or so with him. If you save them though make sure you don't constantly look at them because that can make the break up harder. You should do whatever is best for you though
When going through a break up it might seem the right thing to do. But if she is just someone you used to know and not really disturbing you it's fine, but if there in your head the whole time and you can't stop thinking about them, yes you should.

The only time you should delete your ex's pictures is when you truly feel ready. In my opinion, he may be an ex but when it's hard for you, take baby steps! Start by one picture and then another and each day you go higher. But another thing to think about is...are these memories you ACTUALLY do want to remember? If so, keep them!! Their but memories. It's truly all up to you and what the picture means to you.

It's advisable. You can make a folder and upload it somewhere you won't reach it too easy, so you won't get to look at the pics too often.

If you feel bad when you see them, you should do it. You shouldn't have to deal with something that hurts you
If it well help you totally forget him or her, yes, please do yourself a favor. You don't want to torture yourself emotionally.
Yes, otherwise you will dwell on the past and your feelings for them. You should try to focus on something other than your ex when trying to get over them.

If you think it will help you to move on, then you should. If keeping these pictures doesn't make you suffer, you can delete, but you don't have to.
No, you should delete most of her but keep some of the two of you, when you get older these become valuable memories which you will cherish, the experience you had with your ex made you who you are today

Depends entirely how you feel about it. Do you want to do so? If this your happy memory of the good times with the person you once cared a lot, it could be just that. If you don't want to be reminded of this, you can just delete it. It all depends on how you feel.
Yes ! Move on ! Having pictures of them will only remind you of the person. That is part of moving on. If not you might get tempted to look for them again.
It depends, if looking or seeing these pictures bring negative memories then perhaps deleting them would offer you some peace of mind; however, if you have positive memories of your time together then deleting them might be something one would regret. The choice is in your hands.

Yes! Those pictures will remind you of him and the time you spent with him. You must not forget the good times, those you must cherrish. But if you keep the pictures they will keep you from moving forward
From my experience, it depends on what terms your relationship ended. If your relationship ended mutually and on good terms, I do not see the use in all of the effort towards deleting them. However, if this wasn't a mutual decision, having those photos sitting around reminding you about it, is the opposite of beneficial.
Depends on you.. Deleting your ex images dosent matter try to get over that by taking and being normal even after seeing those images, if u feel beeter when u delete the images then do it, but I suggest u is get it over that by being normal even after seeing those try to get the positive energy after seeing those also, use the pain to achieve something high.

no, keep the ones that still have some sort of sentimental value to you, because even though you feel like you will never be able to get over you ex, you will and in a few years time they will make you smile and become nostalgic
It's better to do so if the experience was painful and hurting. Because looking at these images might remind you of your past and provoke negative feelings.
Yes you should and you should delete his number

Generally it can be helpful to cut all contact, as it allows people to move on quicker, also if you had a bad relationship with them then this is even more true.

I think you should because if you keep them you will be reminded of the memories you had together. This will make you feel depressed.
If it helps give you closure and peace of mind, I think you should delete all the pictures of your ex, especially if you are seeking closure and can't seem to get your mind off him / her.

Most people do but you don't have to. If you he is part of memories that build your life I wouldn't. Even though you don't go out with him he still was a part of your life
It depends how those pictures make you feel. If you want to keep some happy memories do it, but if it makes you miserable delete them.
Well if it does trigger you it's better delete them or maybe you can just save it somewhere and keep it in your shoe box ...In few years it won't haunt you ..but it will just be a memory. ..☺

It is up to you, once it is done you cannot undo it. Only you can decide that, but don't do it until you are ready,
It's probably best if you still find yourself looking at those pictures and getting hurt It's also a good step to try and move on. Stay positive and open minded!
