I also use an external hard drive and I keep everything on it. Everyone of my photos from my camera are very large so I just go into adobe and sie them to 8" X 10" and when I make it a jpeg I slide the bar to medium quality. This works for me. I take everything off my computer and place it on my hard drive. I hope this helps.

You can also buy a small thumb or flash drive usually about 2 to 4 gb of space if you wish to save your whole digital scrap pages. I too have an external drive, which is very handy.

About once each year I go thru my pix and folders and scraps and delete duplicates, add to a zip file, and archive it both online and on a backup disc. It takes a weekend, but my peace of mind and extra space are worth it!
