Hello, is there a way to purge any assets that aren’t being used in any of the web pages of the active project? Sort of a “clean up” process to keep the project slim? ---

Yes mentioned this a long time ago I would take it a small step further… Have an advanced users setting: Make it a checkable box option… Then it would delete it off the server too… If you delete it out of the project - it gets deleted off the server… ---

Possibly an option for do not publish unused assets on the server. ---

Not a fan of deleting stuff… not worth the risk. ---

Having to log into the server to delete old stuff is a pain - I mean it’s 2025 and we should be able to delete things 🙂 lol 😆 Make it an advanced user feature requiring check box and a warning… ---

No problem with auto delete as long as it not set automatically, I do not like auto delete, let others turn it on ---

Right here in the context menu “Purge unused assets” would be perfect. I don’t personally care about the server. If I want a full cleanup, I’d just delete the entire site from the server, then re-publish all files from the project. ![CleanShot 2025-12-03 at 8 .46.33@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/a/e/ae73665fefa06b5c6f81bab86b39fab34d4ab5d2.png) PS: That context menu, shouldn’t really be a hidden context menu, it should be part of the UI above the Resources label. Even just a tiny icon that opens a SwiftUI Menu, which looks exactly the same as the existing context menu. ![CleanShot 2025-12-03 at 8 .59.40@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/a/d/adc16f60515d382d7abb39ba556e5f78dddf2ff1.jpeg) ---

Dare I say two check boxes under advanced settings: 1. delete unused assets from this website 2. delete unused assets from server With appropriate pop up warning boxes that can be hidden permanently
