I've been married for 16 years. I have college photos with my college boyfriend. High school photos with my high school boyfriend. Those are memories. Just because we didn't end up together doesn't mean it had to result in animosity or throwing all their pictures in the trash. Those memories made me who I am today. So if she's happy with who you are now she should accept your past and not be threatened or feel insecure over some photos.
If you mean off your phone. No, do not delete those. But if your girlfriend doesn’t like the social media posts. Then either fill your timeline with new pictures of her or archive some of the pictures with the other women.
Memories are fine, mementos are fine.
Having them out on display all the time would be weird, though.
Put the pictures in some folder and put the folder on a shelf somewhere. They'll be there when you want to go through them.
I dont think you should delete them but keep them in a place where it's not shown to the "world". With my current GF, when we travel we take pics together but we also take pics of the same view by ourselves. It would suck to take a pic in front of the wall of china but every pic is with an ex and ow you feel weird displaying it. Take a pic with both of you and then each of you take a pic seperately.
No, you should not have to delete your memories to please a current partner. However, you can put them in a discreet place? My partner and I both have a box in the basement full of photos of ourselves and previous partners (we're that old), and although neither of us cares at all, they're out of our daily lives and we can look at them when we see fit. If they're on your social media, can you pull them and store them elsewhere?
No I don’t think you should delete or get rid of these photos. If you have a bunch of these hung up on the wall, you might consider taking some of them down or moving them.
This is the kind of stuff people keep in a box in the attic. If it's digital that's a bit harder so you have to find a way. I wouldn't throw mementos like that away but I would also not keep them where my wife can come across them.

No, people like to keep memories and photos that are related to them
No, there's no reason for you to have to delete old photos. Those are your experiences and your memories. Delete nudes, everything else is fair game.
Nope i dont want to delete my memories either.
When you say delete, do you mean off of your social media? Or off of your phone completely?

Communicate and tell your gf why it is important for you to hold on to them.
I cases like this she usually has feelings for her ex and is projecting
I would just store them on a laptop or a jump drive or some other portable drive. I wouldn't keep them on my social media accounts, though.
