Yes. I know it might be hard to, but it is for the best. If you keep them it'll hold you back, and you don't need that.

Yes. Why not? It also depends on the equation which you share with your ex and on the reasons why you have split up. If it was a common decision and you share a friendly rapport then you may as well keep some pictures. However, if it was a bitter split and you want him/her out of your life then go on delete everything.

Pictures are forever memories. If the memories are too painful at the moment try to stay away from the pictures until you can look back at the good times you had with the ex and be happy for those moments.

It depends. I've been through a couple breakups, ands though sometimes looking at photos of my ex can be evoke unpleasant emotions, other times, I'm reminded of the happiness and love I was experiencing at the moment, and feel that when I'm much older, I'll want to look back on those memories.

That is what I did and I don't regret it. It was a painful break up and I would rather not have constant reminders. Of course everyone is different and their breakups could have been calm and respectful. It's really about preference and what you can handle.

Yes! I think you should remove all trace of past toxicity to fully move on to a more positive path :)

This is up to you. If you feel that you cannot stop yourself from looking at them and missing your ex, or otherwise feeling bad, then I would delete them. If this is not the case, there is no reason to delete every trace of the person, because it will be nice to reminisce at some point.

No. Especially since you don't know if that's how you'll feel later in life. It may seem beneficial at the moment. But one day you might want to see those pictures again. If you don't want them with you, you can back it up somewhere. Deleting pictures may be just how you feel at the moment. When you're more sane, and ready you may want to look at them again someday. If not, at least they're backed up if you do!

Getting over your ex is a hard process. Deleting moments with them will help with getting them off your mind and moving on. This can be tough though so do it at your own pace.

Yes, please delete all the pictures. If you don't feel strong enough to delete them right away, keep them away in a folder and try your best not to see them! The memories will never let you move on. You will always be holding on to it and it's not good for you. Hope my answer helped you.
