Keeping your digital footprint to a minimum seems like an excellent idea. In fact, over 80% of us admit we have no idea how to check if our identities have been stolen and two-thirds wouldn't have a clue what to do if(when) it was(will be). Yet all this has really achieved is making us more worried than ever about losing all our stuff. This kind of thing has been well-publicised, of course.
