I generally don't reformat unless I absolutely have to. I would do one on this older computer I'm on but the hard drive is on death watch notice and I'm poised for a complete network upgrade anyway, so I'll probably just scrap this one unless I decide to put in a new harddrive.
I keep my machines super clean and defragged etc at all times though, so I tend to go long periods without thinking about a reformat. But like others have said junk does tend to pile up over time. Crap. Useless forgotten programs. Even old Windows update crap. But by the time it gets that bad I'm usually thinking about getting a new unit. Like now.
There WAS a guy here on GFY who posted a while back that he reformats every 6 months. Ca-razy. But to each their own.
