No there isn't, taking many shots and selecting the best has of course long been standard practice for professional photographers digital cameras and modern memory sizes just make it possible to carry this to extremes. The thing is data storage is cheap and plentiful these days, the old habits of keeping filesystems clean are long since past relevance. There's probably a couple of terabytes of data on my NAS that may never be looked at again (old films for example) but it costs almost nothing to keep it while it would cost time and decision making to clean it up and there's plenty of capacity on the NAS for years to come - I have better things to do with my time and decision making capacity, by the time the capacity is getting to be an issue I'll be wanting to replace the drives anyway and bigger ones will be cheap (they already are). -- Steve O'Hara-Smith
