Yes, you don't generally identify and delete. You identify, relocate and disable. As to your original question, there is no way to tell the type of objects you described from objects that are just plain ready for deletion because they are no longer in use. You will have to identify these "special" once-in-a-while-active objects and make it part of your cleanup process to exempt them from deletion. Sincerely,
