If you've got the files stuffed into an MPD, there's no real need to keep
separate copies of them. I do it anyway, but I'm weird.
If a file is truly junk, I'll delete it.
I move all my completed/inactive projects out of the Models directory, to a
Projects directory.
Under the Projects directory, I have a directory for each individual
project. Sometimes, I have multiple directories inside a project. That
way, I can keep working files, alternate versions, the published version,
etc., etc. This is especially true for parts I've done, because I usually
want to keep one copy with all my notes, subfiles, etc., that I don't think
belong in the published version.
The newer tools are not so tied to ldraw\models\, so it's getting easier to
manage model/part files. With MLCad's support for MPD, it's easier yet.
