Culling is the function that enables the quick removal of duplicated data, email threads and empty folders from a Box.
Culling consists of 4 sub-functions that can be triggered all at once or individually to remove:
Duplicates
Files that are exact copies of one another
Near duplicates
Files that are similar but not exact copies
Email threads
Email chains or conversations
Empty folders
Sub-folders that contain no files
To perform a Cull
Click the Cull tab icon within a Box. This will launch the Culling window.
Toggle the operation(s) you wish to perform and click the Cull button.
This will begin the process in the background and may take a few seconds or minutes depending on the volume of data to be removed.
These processes can also be performed with greater control from the sub-tabs on the Culling page. There is a separate tab for each of the four operations that allow a closer look at the duplicated data and be more precise about which files are kept and which are removed.
