I wait to see if the plants are putting out flowers or strawberries, take out the ones that have aged out and aren't producing anymore. If they all are producing, take out the ones that make them too close together, just like you thin out things like carrots or green beans after they germinate. The roots are what you want to get rid of.
Use a lawnmower for strawberry bed renewal when you haven't planted the strawberries in rows. Set the mower blades on the highest setting and mow the bed, making sure the blades don't damage the crowns. After cutting the foliage, remove the oldest plant crowns until the plants are spaced 12 to 24 inches apart.
You want to remove the "Mother" plants. They are the plants that have put forth tendrils where the newer "baby" plants are. Snip them apart and pull out the old plants at least every 3 years. Some do it every year. I think it depends upon weather they are June Bearing or Everbearing.

Get rid of the old ones that don't produce.

Remove the oldest plants. A 3 yr rotation will give you good yield.
Thanks so much for all the responses :😊
