There’s a lot from my early days of photography, a few odd shots. Lots of cars, a few aircraft.

take out the sentimental ones, there's something about holding them in your hand. The rest, go through, and be critical, any out of focus, dump them. The ones that are of a decent standard, put them into associated bundles, then offer them to charity shops or perhaps an art college. Old photos are collectible for decor for trendy types lol.
As far as USBs go, consider getting an external portable hard drive, a solid state one. Keep the USBs as a back up, and save the hard drive as your 'working' device. The USBs though can be lost, and as the hard drive, they are not infallible (it is a good idea to have them spread over many USBs for that reason - if one fails, you dont lose the lot)
