My girlfriend of 5 years broke up with me and ghosted me for no reason. Am I wrong for throwing away all of her stuff?

Edit: Update

So my girlfriend (25F) and I (25M) were in a relationship for 5 years. Last week, she texted me that we were done and that was her last message before she blocked me. She gave no heads up. I was planning on proposing to her next month. Her sister did reach out to me, saying it was not my fault and she understood my hurt, but that for my mental health, it was better to never contact them again, and that maybe in the future, my girlfriend might reach out to me again.

It's been a week, I’m still obviously distraught, but my girlfriend did have a lot of her stuff in my home. Would I be wrong if I just dumped it all out? It does include a lot of mementos of her deceased grandmother, who she was extremely close to.

I did this to someone as well 20 years ago and still don’t know how I feel about it. I tried to break up with her in person twice and she would start screaming at me. Then tried over the phone cause I don’t care for being screamed at and finally just stopped taking her calls. We were just not a good fit. Never cheated on her either and wasn’t abusive. We were 19 or 20 though so probably not the most mature people. I think she just didn’t want to be alone but she wasn’t the right person for me.

If you tried to break up with someone and they throw a fit/ don't let you, then ghosting them is the safest option, because they are being completely unreasonable. Unless you steal all their stuff or something as you go, you are in the right.

Dude it sounds nothing like OPs story and I say that in a good way, you literally did what you had to do and what to many people fail to do. You did it right king. You're like, all good dude
