Tidy Library

As the CMS is used and Layouts/Media are added, over time the library can become cluttered with old content that is no longer in use.

The Library can be tidied by the user so that it is kept clean and small. This might be of particular interest as the user an assigned quotas.

The place where the library can be tidied is in "Library page".

Any user is able to initiate a "Tidy Library" from the Library page using the menu item in the action bar.

Library Tidy from Library

The form presented will show the number of files that will be deleted as a result of the tidy operation and how much space those files take up.

This will only delete files that are no-longer in use on a Layout or Assigned to a Display Group/Display. It will only assess files owned by the logged in User.

Orphaned files

Orphaned files are a rare occurrence where a file stored on disk in the library folder is not deleted when the media item is deleted from the library. This means that the file exists but the CMS doesn't know anything about it.

These files are deleted in a Tidy Library Call.
