But the blurry one is better lit. Ideally, I should fix up the clear one the best I can and delete the blurry one.

Really it is a psycological thing. I would imagine the same thing that makes someone a packrat with physical items would impact their digital photos as well. The effect might even be greater because there is essentially no cost to keeping everything versus the risk (however unfounded) of tossing something that you would wish you had kept.
