Purging Unused Content¶
Use Purge to inspect and select supported unused source materials and fill patterns after simulating your proposed cleanup.
Refresh Candidates¶
- Finish the parameter, naming, keynote, material and geometry choices.
- Open Purge.
- Choose Refresh Purge Candidates.
- Wait for the inspection to finish.
- Review each candidate's Name, Kind and Dependent IDs.
Flow temporarily simulates the current cleanup, checks the supported unused content, then rolls the inspection back without saving changes to the source.
Select Removals¶
Tick Remove for the candidates you approve. Select All and Clear Selection help manage the displayed selection, but each proposed removal still needs review.
Dependent content must also be selected and within the supported scope. A deletion that would affect unapproved or unsupported content blocks publication.
Refresh after changing the plan
Changes to the cleanup plan invalidate the purge review. Refresh candidates and check the removals again before saving.
Understand Purge Scope¶
This workflow covers eligible unused source materials and fill patterns. It is not a general purge of family types, geometry, imports, parameters or assets.
Flow rechecks candidates when saving. Newly unused items outside the approved selection remain retained. The report records selected deletions and the remaining Revit unused count.
A remaining unused count is not a failed cleanup
The count can include content outside this workflow's scope. Read the recorded removals and limitations before deciding whether further manual work is needed.
