Sweep

Sweep is a MODX Extra that helps you scan for and safely remove unused files from your website. It provides a convenient way to identify which files are no longer referenced in your MODX content and clean them up directly from the interface.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Navigate to Extras → Sweep.
2. Click Scan files to begin analyzing the filesystem.
3. Go to the Directories tab and add the directories you want to scan.
   • All files in the selected directories will be checked for usage.

🔍 File Usage Detection

Sweep checks for file usage in the following MODX fields:

Object	Fields Checked
modResource	content, introtext, description, properties
modChunk	snippet
modTemplate	content
modSnippet	snippet
modPlugin	plugincode
modTemplateVarResource	value
cgSetting	value
DigitalSignageSlides	data

⚠️ Warning: If a file is used outside of these fields or objects, it may still be marked as unused. Please review files carefully before removal.

🧹 Deleting Files

You have several options for removing unused files:

• Right-click on a file and choose Remove file.
• Select multiple files, then right-click and remove them in bulk.
• Use the Clean all button to remove all files marked as unused in one click.

📁 Used Files Tab

The Used files tab displays all files that are currently in use on your site.

• You can see exactly where each file is used.
• This allows you to identify large files still in use and replace them manually with optimized versions if needed.
