I think that is a personal choice. What makes you want to get rid of the pictures of the good times that you had with them?

I don't think so. They're all memories and make you part of who you are. No matter how nasty the breakup I swear there will have been good times you may one day like to look back on.

If the pictures make it much harder for you to move on, then it might be time to delete some. But if you had such great memories that are just too hard to forget about, then it may be okay to leave some of them. :) Pictures are just their to remind us of the beautiful memories that we've made. They are there to let us see the people we've spent the moment with and just to see the beautiful things we've created and instilled in our minds.

Probably not because he/she is a part of your life. If it hurts too much to see them at the moment though, you can always put them in a special place and reopen it only when you're ready.

Definitely. Just delete all of them and start your new beginning without he/she. That will be helpful.

Of course you should, not just because the pictures remind you of him/her, but because you don't deserve the pain of seeing him/her again.

In my experience it helped me to make closure that the relationship had ended, so if you are ready to and believe it could be beneficial in helping to move on you may wish to consider it

after my 7 year relationship ended, i put all our albums and photos in a box, which i hid in storage. it helped me move on when i (slowly) got rid of things that reminded me of us. years later (around 5 years or so) when i was moving to another apartment, and was completely over him, i was able to find that box and open it without pain. i'm just saying that 7 years was pretty long and those 7 years weren't just about the two of us, it was about people we met, places we've been and experiences that were as much mine as it was ours. rest assured, you will move on!! :) drop the photos in a hard disk, store it somewhere you'd likely never open in a long time :D
