Do You Save All Your Footage?

I personally delete the video source from my PC when its fully uploaded to YouTube and there arent any copyright strikes. I have a 1TB hard drive and it stores all of my games and other stuff. 1080p videos are pretty big in file size so keeping them would fill my hard drive.
 
I also store everything twice on two external hard drives.
Sure, I will never look at this Videos again. However, I put soooooo much energy and time into the Videos that I dont want to delete them... :)
 
Man I'm having storage issues right now. Has anyone messed with compression programs like 7-Zip to compress your video files for storage?
 
That doesn't really improve on video as this is usually already encoded in a highly compressed manner.
 
I have no way of saving my footage at the moment, but when I can afford a big hard drive, a good camera, and a cord to connect it to the PC, i'll most likely save the footage, but I see no real reason to save it after you know it's up, but eh :)
 
I am currently saving everything, because I am so organized with my mac and have 8tb of storage so this isn't a problem right now, although I'm having some problems with my Premiere on Hackintosh so I'm starting to use that ugly Windows, and I might will start delete things just to be more organized and find quickly the new folders that I'm working with.
Anyway, I will always keep the finished videos, for outros and "flashbacks" or stuff like this.
 
A 30,000 Terabyte hard drive? That must be like the size of a car (and probably costs more than a car haha...I work at an electronic retail chain and jsut 1 or 2 Terabytes ain't cheap so imagine 30,000...) Anyway, back on topic. I try to store whatever I can but after a while I delete the unedited footage especially if its just a regular sit in the room vlog. My "outdoors" or "remotes" I never delete, as there are always cut scenes in those that I can bring back one day :)
