Clean-up Scripts#

Below are the instructions on how to use the clean-up scripts found in the Recommendations section.

Note

The script will attempt to delete all resources that are recommended for deletion (based on the downloadable json file) and will not fail on errors. Upon its completion, a summary will be generated containing a list of deleted resources, a list of non-existing (already deleted) resources and a list of resources that could not be deleted due to other reasons.
