Cleaning up site

[George W. Barrowcliff]

Over the last few years of adding and deleting stuff from the web site I
have ended up with some unused files and I would like to delete everything
from my development system and the web site that is currently unused.

e.g. I once had all the documents in a documents subdirectory, and as I
replaced and added new documents I put them into a documents\newdocuments
directory. In looking at the unlinked report, I found two documents that
show a single link under the 'Links To' column and one with a single link
under the 'Links From' column.

I tried the Edit->Search with the document names but nothing is found
anywhere. How can I see where FP found these to and from links so I can
change the reference to the correct document?

And, is it safe to remove any file that has 0 in the links to and links from
column?

TIA, GWB

Try recalculating hyperlinks for the site and then run the report.

Links that use javascript will not always be seen in the link report, so it's best to verify that the files are in fact
not linked to before deleting, because FP does not recycle files, it simply deletes them.

Change to Hyperlinks view, and click on the documents in the file/folder
list. This view will show which documents are linked to and from.

Perfect, exactly what I wanted to know. Showed that mysterious link
immediately.

Thanks, GWB
