Can I delete files that have no downloads? These are very old files and there are a lot of them. Will this affect the accounts? And will it result in a decrease in sales?

You can but why would you want to?

Would you cut off your toes to make your feet smaller?

Some images look similar even if only slightly and it makes me uncomfortable, so I want to delete them.

In that case, I would delete them. That would be a reasonable reason for doing so.

As you have already been told, there is no benefit. Besides, it is a lot of work.

Yes. You can delete old unsold assets, and it won’t affect your account. However, there’s really no benefit in doing so. I regularly earn first time sales from old files, so I’m not deleting anything.

Yes, you can delete files. I don’t bother myself, as I still get an occasional sale out of the blue from assets I upload 4 years ago.
