Should you delete old unsuccessful posts?

I have a blog and there are some posts on there that just don't get traffic at all. Many of these are old posts when I wasn't focused on monetizing. Should I go ahead and delete these? I'm worried I'm diluting my pagerank a bit by leaving them up. Even if they did get traffic, they aren't designed to be profitable. I want the traffic to go to my profitable pages.

    Checkout traffic for those post in Google Analytics (GA). In GA set two month period and check which articles getting less than 10 visits. Once you know about such articles either delete and add 301 redirection OR improve them OR add noindex tag to them.

      If posts are unique, they can't hurt your page rank -- IMHO your site is content rich in eyes of google and others...

    I would only delete posts, if I knew I provided low quality or even false information in the past. Otherwise I see no reason to delete unique content.
