Large File

‘My Pictures’ on my computer is becoming a large file, over 8 GB now.
I want to keep all the photos so deleting unwanted is not an option and all has been saved to various external devices.
First thoughts would be to split my pictures up and make two or three smaller files but some programs with Nero being one remembers where to find a photo and through past experience if you change a file name or move a file Nero puts up a message ‘unable to find xxxxx’ and removes the said article from my slide show or whatever I am working on. The file/photo can be replaced when the new path is given to the program, which is time consuming.
Giving an answer to my own question I should really leave ‘My Pictures’ as it is and start a new ‘My Pictures 2’ file and continue from there and I think I would only have to alter the camera and scanner destination to suit.
Any ideas?
