    Default Delete Bookmarks and subscripions

    I just read through all my bookmarks and subscriptions that I had saved. I found that for many of them the links that were included no longer worked or took you to a totally different site. Some of them I had saved as far back as 2010. I also found that I had saved many bookmarks that I now know how to do and no longer needed the tut. I deleted over 100 bookmarks and subscriptions. You may want to check out what you have saved.

    yes, when reading old threads, many links don't work. so if saved, they are no longer useful.

    If you really want to save something you need to cut and paste the information into a word document to save on your computer. Of course, those files need purging sometimes too.

    Thanks for the tips. I assumed they would stay as it. I was wrong.

    I did go through my browser history and deleted them after my PayPal account was hacked over a month ago, and recently went through my download history and deleted all but 12 or so. Amazing how much faster my computer is now!
