Tidying up files

[Guest]

Over time my website has a lot of redundant images - is there a way in FP to
identify images / pdf's which are not used

How about an unlinked files report?

How about an unlinked files report?




Hi Dave B - I thought this report show files which couldnt be reached from the home page - if its files not linked anywhere then its what I want

From the FrontPage toolbar.
View > Reports > Problems > Unlinked files.

Make sure you actually verify those that show as unlinked, because files used in
javascript links
will sometimes show as unlinked.

From Microsoft;

Unlinked Files Unlinked files are files that have no hyperlinks to them
from any of your pages. Files listed here may be orphaned files that you can
delete from your Web site by right-clicking the file name and choosing
Delete on the shortcut menu.

Be careful though, as it may show some items as unlinked, but you may not
want to get rid of them, such as a form confirmation page, or some scripts,
and so on.

That is incorrect (even if it's from the help files or Microsoft)
The unlinked files report shows those files that cannot be reached directly
from the Home page. It includes those files that are linked through
scripting.
The report will show how may links go to those files (from other "unlinked"
pages), and how many links those pages link to.
A truly unlinked page will have 0 links to it in the unlinked report -
except it will not record any links through scripting.

Nice to know Microsoft's online help is accurate... not
