Hi Everyone, I Was wondering if you could assist please? 

I started working here an they used to have an enterprise vault environment.  But the EV server no longer exists.  I noticed on the file server that many of the files have the little X on the icon and they dont open.  Is there a way i can delete these using a script, without searching for them manually? 

 

Thanks

FSA placeholders and files with that icon have the offline attribute. what i would do is get a dir listing of all the offline files and pipe it to a text file, look through them, and then make a little batch script to del each file you have confirmed is not required.

the attribute is called offline and here are some other posts for reference:
