I'd be interested in a solution to this. Been fighting it for years to no avail, other than running a "data inventory" program (such as TreeSize) and doing a manual compare.

User education only goes so far when it comes to "please don't do that" as they nod and then keep doing it. I think we've moved beyond being nice and we've found ourselves mired in needing a sledgehammer. I'd just like to wrap it in a bit of velvet. Thoughts, Policies, procedures etc, would be helpful in this. TIA ./s Google.com Learn it. Live it.
