There is always the approach of making a copy and then deleting - or just renaming suspect members and waiting for the fallout.
This can be dangerous but if you do it under an official change control process at least you've documented what you're doing and received official approval for doing it. Is it worth the effort - only if you really need to recover the disk space, which is doubtful at this point in time. Plus these old/obsolete elements may prove useful, if only as examples to work from at some point. Lionel B.

No way. I have seen discussion about tracking library access, hopefully at member level. So what? Let's imagine member ABC has not been touched for 5 months. Can you delete it? No, you are not sure about half-year or once-a-year processes. Of course, detailed report of recently read members allows you to eliminate majority (or minority?) of members in the library. However the rest has to be manually checked. And this is less technical, more organizational task. You have to find an owner or at least a person who knows anything about given member and talk to him. My €0.02 BTW: I have found a member dated on 1981 recently. Fortunately I'm pretty sure it is just a piece of junk nowadays. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 12.04.2022 o 16:41, Mark Jacobs pisze: > Does anyone do this in other than a manual method?
