Agreed.

Is there anything on it you need? If so, make a copy of it on an SD card
using a USB SD card adapter.

Then download a recent Noobs distribution from the RaspberryPi Foundation
http://www.raspberrypi.org/

Use noobs to set up a new installation on a new 4GB or 8GB SD card, and
then put the stuff you saved back in place.

Finally, work out a schedule that suits you for making backups and doing
regular software upgrades and do it. Mine gets a weekly backup followed
immediately by a software upgrade.
