I always use more boxes than I need because I want to keep the weight down as I've always done the moving myself and also because I am generous with foam. Also for books, I generally line the boxes with heavy duty contractor / year trash bags, just in case they get wet. If you want to declutter, the 5e books are easy to get rid of if you use DnD Beyond. But if you are not interested in using the 2024 revisions, but still want to run 5e, I would keep at least the rule books. I would personally hold on to Volos.  That remains my favorite 5e book and you can't get it on DnD Beyond unless you bought it when they were still selling it there. Other than that I can only repeat advice others have already made.  I'm not a collector, so my decision process is:1. Do I intend to play this again? If so, can I live with using PDF versions (if available)? If yes to the first and no to the second, keep it.2. Even if I don't intend to play it again, is it an aesthetically pleasing book that I enjoy browsing through now and again to enjoy reading it, looking at the art, getting inspiration and content to use in other games? If so, keep it.3. Does it have strong nostalgic value?  If yes keep it.  But this is the tough one. Nostalgia grows over time. On the one had, I wish I had a lot of my books from the 80s. On the other hand, I long ago cured myself of my collector urges. I try to err on the side of letting things go. Every year I declutter. Part of that is going through my books and board games and aggressively pruning stuff that I don't use and don't have strong feelings for. I either donate books and games to my LFGS's lending library, my son's school (for their game club and aftercare) or I have my sons help me bring them to Half Price Books and give them whatever money we can get for them.</blockquote>
