Unused DAM Assets

[inducn]

How to get all the unused DAM assets (their path and size) in AEM 6.2. Is there some kind of Xpath query or code?

This is discussed in this thread - see if this helps you -- find unused assets in aem

AEM OOB does not provide any tool find un used assets but day.cq provide good API's to implement this.

Implementation:

1. write a servlet to iterate all assets strating form /content/dam/project

2. to each asset  use ReferenceSearch ("The Adobe AEM Quickstart and Web Application.")  API

public Map<String,ReferenceSearch.Info> search(ResourceResolver resolver, String path)

3. If it has references then skip and it doesn't then you can add it to servlet response.

Hope that helps

Hi

Go to "localhost:4502/assets.html/content/dam" and click on Box icon on right hand side below the header -> click on Filters

On right hand side new tab would come up. Select publish status -> Unpublished , this will show all the un-published assets in the instance.

There are loads of filters that you can use.

I hope this would help you.
