What do you mean by keep? Not to delete the private keys?

If you have not needed these keys for years then it is improbable that you 
will need them in the future. But the other way round: Is there any good 
reason to delete private keys which have been used?

You should (if you haven't done so yet) create and publish revocation 
certificates for the oly keys stating that you have a new key (mentioning the 
new key ID at best).
