To search for files of any size, choose -1.

Minimum Age (Days):

Age in days that orphaned files need to have in order to be found by the report.

Collect Empty Folders:

If this checkbox is activated, the report finds empty folders in DBFS mode.

You can delete empty folders without risk.

Collect Temporary Files:

If this checkbox is activated, the report finds temporary files that the CM repository created beneath the root directory.

Temporary files should normally be eradicated automatically by other means. If this does not happen, you can find temporary files using this report and delete them.

Collect Content Files:

If this checkbox is activated, the report finds orphaned entries in the file system with no connection to the database.

Collect Alien Files:

If this checkbox is activated, the report finds all files or folders beneath the root directory that were not created by a CM repository manager and therefore do not match the naming convention.

 

When you display the results, you can use the Commands tab. You can delete objects found.

Commands tab

Command Description

Remove

Removes the selected objects from the file system permanently.

 

Note

The objects found are given an RID in the report. However, they do not represent resources. If you follow the link you receive an error message.

 

Note

We recommend that you execute this report once a month. Execute the report several times in succession to make sure that all entries with errors have been found and eradicated.
