# Prune
  
   
Download: [Prune](https://github.com/BIG-RAT/prune/releases/latest/download/prune.zip)
As your Jamf server ages it often accumulates more and more unused items, such as outdated packages, unscoped policies, mobile device apps... Use Prune to help identify and remove those unused items.
In the event the server reply indicates an error occurred reading an object it will be logged and you will receive an alert indicating the results may be inaccurate.
Once the list of unused items is generated you can edit it within the app. If you see an object you wish to keep, say some policy, simply option-click the item in the list. The item will be removed from the list, and hence not removed from the server. Perhaps you'd like to review the item on the server before deleting, not a problem, just double click the item and you'll be taken to it on the Jamf server (may need to authenticate first).
### Usage:
* Enter the server URL you wish to query along with valid credentials. To simply generate a list you can use an auditor account. To remove items an account with delete permissions is also required.
* Select the item(s) you'd like to scan. You can option-click to select/de-select all the object types; packages, scripts, computer groups...
* Click Scan.
* Once the processing is complete review/edit the list.
* Click Delete if you wish to delete the listed items from the server.
* To delete one specific object type after scanning multiple object types change the View option to the desired object type then click Delete.
* Click Export if you wish to save (to your Downloads folder) the lists of objects, one file per object type, to remove for review/editing later. These lists can then be imported into the application by either clicking the import button or dragging the file onto the button.
* Option-click Export to export all items to a single CSV in your downloads folder.
### Usage Calculations
Object
Determine Usage
Packages
Check for usage in policies, patch policies, computer prestages
Scripts
Check for usage in policies
Computer Groups
Check for usage in policies, computer configuration profiles, computer groups, eBooks, restricted software, advanced searches, app installers, enabled state
Computer Profiles
Check scope, computer prestages
Policies
Check scope
Mac Apps
Check scope
Restricted Software
Check scope for computer groups
Computer Extension Attributes
Check scope for computer groups, advanced searches (also checks display tab), enabled state
eBooks
Check scope
Mobile Device Groups
Check for usage in mobile device apps, mobile device configuration profiles, mobile device groups, eBooks, classes
Mobile Device Profiles
Check scope
Classes
Check scope, only looks for students/student groups/mobile device assignements
Mobile Device Extension Attributes
Check scope for mobile device groups, advanced searches
### Important:
* This application deletes stuff, use with caution! It is recommended you have a valid backup before deleting any objects. You could either perform a database backup (if on prem) or use [Jamf Migrator](https://github.com/jamf/JamfMigrator) and export the (full) XML of all objects, or do both.
* **Policies** scoped only to users and/or user groups will show as unused due to an issue with the API (it doesn't list the users or user groups).
* **Mac App** enabled/disabled state is not available via the API and thus not used to determine usage.
* **Bookmarks** are not accessible via the API. As a result groups that are only used to scope bookmarks will show as unused.
Logging information is written to: ```~/Library/Containers/com.jamf.pse.prune/Data/Library/Logs/Prune.log```
