Maintaining Your Site Free of Extraneous or Outdated Files

Please delete working documents and unused or outdated files from your site. Files on your live site may be crawled by search engines and may turn up in users' searches. Please be sure that all site content is current and relevant.

In addition, we do not want to take up server space with documents that are unnecessary or are not used on the site itself. Keeping your integration site clean makes for more efficient upkeep and maintenance on your end as well.

Example of extraneous files:

Too Many Extraneous Files

Notice that there are copies of files in here, several versions of the same file, files with misspellings, etc.

Free of unnecessary files:

Free of Extraneous Files

When you have deleted a file from integration please let Larry Van Cantfort know and he will have it removed from staging and production.
