How long are you keeping client photos saved on your computers?
An interesting story is the guy who had the photo of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky taken long before the scandal broke. He recalled dozens of other photographers around him taking similar shots, but they all deleted their photos of the President and Monica. Who needed another photo of the President with someone nobody knew? He kept his because he was shooting film, and he archived every roll. Later he thought he recognized her, and went back, searched, and found the shot.

Same here, I'm no pro, but I don't delete much myself. Does that mean I have a problem?
Very nice to meet you!
