Purge content

It is good practice to clean up expired content on your publication's database at regular intervals. For those familiar with the MS Windows operating system, the operation below is similar to that launched when you choose Accessories>System Tools>Cleanup in Windows, with the important exception that this action purges expired content across all your Web publication's sites.

To clean up expired content, proceed as follows:

1. Observe the Expired column of the table.

   • If there are no numbers above 0 in the Expired column, no maintenance is required and you can skip the remaining steps.

   • If there are numbers above 0 in the Expired column, proceed as described in the steps that follow.

2. (Optional) To purge even locked content, select the Purge even locked objects checkbox.

3. Click Purge to clean up the database.
