If the objects are generic or can be easily recreated, it may be appropriate to consider removing them.

For those objects that could potentially be utilized in future projects, it is advisable to retain them in a well-organized archive or a dedicated folder for unused items.

Prior to deleting any object, ensure that it is properly documented and consider exporting a backup. This will allow for easy restoration if it is later determined that the object is needed.

I have over 100 unreferenced objects. After searching them by UUID, I found that some are categorized as Name and Description, while others are Expressions. Upon further investigation, it appears that they do not have any dependencies on other objects. in this case do I just keep them? or what is the best way to handle them?

Hi Mike. Yes, I know. It was over 5 years ago. Just wanted to reply still :) Might be helpful for some people

This is a zombie post - notice how the post, and all comments before yours were from October, 2016. This was WAAAAY before the "unreferenced objects" feature was introduced.

How about --> Application - Monitoring - Unreferenced Objects ?

Thank you all for your response, there is no such method is existed for finding Un-used objects. We have to search manually with possible scenarios

Hi Ramak,
AFIAK there is no such a solution for finding unused objects in an application. For better idea create the new application for existing application from design mode and add all dependencies objects of your application and compare the two applications.
it will help you find out the unused objects

What if you created two apps - one that has all contents from your site and another where you add your interfaces (forms) then check for dependencies over and over till all are added to the app. Then compare the two files to see what is not in the one??? Again, manual and has room for error, but I am just brainstorming...
Maybe someone has a better idea.

Hi @Christineh,

From your suggestion, its shows the Rule performance of an object. But actually, what I need if we create any one form, it has any dependencies, while running that form it should show what rule are invoking by that form itself. As simple if we ran any process on multiple conditions. What objects its invoking, that should return object UUID’s and dependency UUID’s also.
If its returns invoked object UUID’s. we can easily filter un-used objects.

The best I can think of is to look at the perf logs to see what isn't logged. Not 100% and reverse of what you are asking. But like the others, nothing that I have really seen for this.

Hi Rama, as per my knowledge we don't have any OOTB functionality to do this.

I was done with checking in shared components and documentation. I didn't find any solution
