Zip files contain backups of your family file and media. You should have
some backup plan for your data and media and which .zip files you retain
should conform to that plan.
Where you keep backups is also important, some should be on your hard
drive for immediate access, some on removable media for when your hard
drive fails and at least one should be off-site in case a catastrophe
like a fire or flood destroys your on-site backups.
I would suggest you keep at least some of the older backups, an error
can creep into your file that you do not immediately notice, having an
older backup can let you recover data from before the error.

I am cleaning up files on my computer and see a lot of .zip files in my
Legacy Family Tree>Data subfolder. Many of them are named by the file,
date and time and "media-zip". Is there any reason I should save these
files? I am assuming zip files can be deleted but want to be sure.
Thank you.
