If that will make you happier , don't hesitate. Do it! But if you feel that this is not the right thing to do - don't! :)

It truly depends on the extent of the relationship, as well as how it ended. If the relationship had meaningful impact on your life and you can look and reflect on the photos fondly, then keep a few. If the relationship ended in fire and one sided, or if you feel you have no closure, I would personally delete them all. They would be a negative reminder and prevent your wounds from healing. When making decisions at the end of a relationship, choose your actions based on what will help you heal and move on--how can you embrace the experience and grow without preventing yourself from moving on in your endeavors--that's what matters.

Sometimes memories need to be let go and some don't. Was your ex very rude and forceful, or was he a sweet guy?

Deleting pictures of your ex-partner is a good process of moving on but do it when you are ready to move on and forgive.

I would not do this. I would delete some of the pictures, but keep some of the pictures which remind me of the good times we had. My ex was part of my life, and I like (even when we broke up), like to remember the times.

If those pictures are triggering you into sadness, regret, depression, anxiety or any other kind of negative feelings or thought then you should delete them immediately.

That depends. Will it help you to move on? My suggestion is to keep it still, in an enclosed folder, perhaps. End of the day, you guys took the pictures together because you enjoyed each other's company, it may bring a fond memory when you've moved on :)

yes,you should. Keeping them keeps triggering memories in you. Especially if the circumstances involved in your break up are not so cute or you broke up based on betrayal of trust.
Have a helpful insight? Don’t keep it to yourself.
Sharing helps others and its therapeutic for you.
