There are so many that are worthless and not worth keeping after you're done playing. I've managed to keep a few on my phone before getting tired of them. Right now I only have 3 and I just purchased another one. I usually end up playing for a week and then they're gone. However there are some I wish I kept like Edge and Stoneloops.
 
My iPhone's memory capacity is stretched, and so I'm constantly trying to decide which games stay and which go when a new and noteworthy game comes along. Usually it's not so hard, but occassionally it gets to be conundrum, cause the other apps I have are actually useful and productive apps that I use pretty often.
 
I think it depends on the game. If it has no replay value then it's probably going to get deleted. Although I rarely come close to my iPhone's capacity, I don't like things taking up room when they aren't going to be used.

A game like LIFE won't ever get deleted because you can continue enjoying it. A game like Metal Gear Solid probably will eventually get deleted because once you beat it, you beat it. You might want to replay it later, but it wont be right away so you can always re-download it.

Agreed, it greatly depends on the game. So far, I haven't deleted any games, but I haven't downloaded many either.
