Michelle, I never delete a source unless the information is wrong. I find it very useful to use multiple sources so that I may follow more easily the process by which I uncovered the full information for a person.

I wish that you could delete multiple sources at one time using the windows shortcut (hold down the CTRL button and then select multiple entries) and also add a source to multiple fields (without using the assign to ALL) Many times I use a not so reliable source until I get something better. For example, I might have the IGI as a source for someone full name, birthdate/place of birth and death date/place of death as well as the relationship to his/her parents. Then I get I copy of a death certificate which has all of that info. I have to delete the IGI sources one at at time from the person and then assign the new source to each field one at a time. Another example is if I get info from a verbal interview from someone and then I find documents to back up the information. I tend to delete the interview and insert the more reliable documents.
