Simplifying moving data between cloud storage has always been the goal of Movebot, whether you have 1TB or 100TB to move. And with the new release of our Cleanup Wizard feature, that simplicity goes beyond moving data; now you can easily clean it up too.
Cleanup Wizard has several features to help clean your data. So how can Cleanup Wizard help? Here are five ways you can make use of the new feature to help to clean up your data.
If you’re moving data from one cloud to another, chances are that you don’t need the data in both places. So why not just delete the entire thing or stop paying for the service?
Even if you think you don’t need the data in the old storage platform, it pays to double-check. If you moved the files with Movebot, you’ll get a post-migration report that will tell you how many files were transferred as well as ignored files or failures. Make sure to review this before deleting files in the source to make sure you don’t lose anything important.
We recommend waiting a couple months before deleting data in the old platform if possible. Cleanup Wizard can help by deleting specific directories or by doing mass deletions across your cloud.
Some organizations require data to be purged or archived after a certain amount of time has passed. Say you need to delete any files that are over 9 months old. How do you go about finding them?
Cleanup Wizard makes it easy. The Deletion Criteria lets you choose from several options like file/folder name matches, file age, and much more. You can even combine criteria together to delete files over 9 months old, but only files that part of a specific filepath–like a folder for a specific organization that requested files be deleted after 9 months.
Have a piece of software with unique filetypes you no longer need or simply want to get of all files with a specific extension? It’s no problem with Cleanup Wizard. You have the option to choose any file extension and find any files in your chosen folders that match it. Then you can delete all of them in a few quicks. Fast, simple, and thorough.
Deleting data is a little bit scary, especially on a large scale. The last thing you want is to delete a bunch of files and then suddenly realize there were a few you still needed too late. Cleanup Wizard helps reduce deletion anxiety with enforced scanning and review.
Before deleting, you’ll need to run a scan of your items, and then review that scan and acknowledge that you’ve reviewed the list before you’re able to delete anything. It’s one last check to make sure it’s good to go, because once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.
Explorer is a powerful feature that helps you find out information about connected cloud storage that your cloud provider can’t tell you. One thing it can do is filter files based on parameters that you can configure like file type or creation date. But what about if you’re looking for files to delete?
Fortunately Explorer integrates with Cleanup Wizard so you can find files you don’t need in Explorer and mark them for deletion in a Cleanup Wizard project. This combination makes finding and bulk deleting files easier than ever.
