Truxton requires some maintenance here and there. Maintenance tasks are generally exposed to the scripting side of Truxton rather than the GUI side. This allows the maintenance to be automated and customized to customer's needs.

Delete Media
When you want to delete a piece of media from Truxton, you have a few choices:
- Use the Media Management page on the Analyst Desktop
- Use TruxtonCLI
- Write your own program or script
These will delete the meta data pertaining to a piece of media from the database. It will not delete the file contents associated with the media. To do that, you must perform a depot consolidation. By selecting "Clean Data" from the Truxton Tray application, you will enqueue tasks to clean the database of orphaned records, consolidate the depot files, delete unused depot files, and optimize the database.
