I... Have a lot of feelings about keeping old art, especially old art that you put up for public view somewhere. Going back and looking, you may not like it or even downright hate the stuff, but I say keep it. It serves as a measure of your progress. You can look at an old and a new piece and say "wow, look how far I've come". (That, and what you said about old ideas being good - now you can revisit the idea with your now-better skills and make it better than it was.)

That, and even if you don't like an old piece, there's a chance that it's a favorite of someone else. I cannot count the times I've had the urge to dig up an old piece by a fellow artist friend or an artist I've admired and found that it's gone. Just. Nowhere anymore. (Or in some extreme cases, their entire gallery is gone.)

If you feel the need, then yeah, sort them all into a file for older stuff - then they're at least still around. Only reason I'd ever junk something I did was if I absolutely had to for space reasons or if it was a false start of a project that didn't pan out.
