: How to handle old posts & categories that are not in use I have a few old categories on my website, and I'd like to clean them up, but I'm a little uncertain how to handle two aspects
I have a few old categories on my website, and I'd like to clean them up, but I'm a little uncertain how to handle two aspects of this.
One thing is that I have a category that I used to share photos (https://www.example.com/blog/snaps/). Each post is only a photo and a sentence. Is there any value to keeping such short content? Would it help to create a new single page/post and redirect all those links to that URL?
Secondly, what should I do about deleting a category that hasn't been used in years? Do I just redirect to a similar category or post/page?

With the categories: You could clean them up and 301 redirect the old categories to the new or close related ones.
In regards to the posts: you can 301 redirect the ones that that are low-quality to higher quality or more relevant pages. Another alternative would be, to decide to rewrite or update them in a new post to improve the content and then 301 the old posts to the updated content.
For the snaps category I will recommend merge them all under the a category page and noindex, no follow the individual posts/images potentially to be classified as thin content. You can also create sub-categoryes like /snaps/2017/ or /snaps/cars/, etc.
