Does any one has process to find and delete Orphan cards/ pages?

I am looking for a process that finds orphan card / page and deleting them without impacting current users

use the Domo Governance and Domo Stats datasets, https://www.domo.com/appstore/connector/domo-governance-datasets-connector/overview .

How are you defining 'Orphan'? and How would you define "impacting current users"? Sounds like a pedantic question, but there are different answers which will inform your process for identifying and archiving content.

@jaeW_at_Onyx is right using the Domo Governance dataset called "Cards" should give you what you are looking for. I made a pivot table directly from the dataset as shown below, just filter for when Page = Orphan (Domo has already defined this). I will say that I have had some cases where a card showed up as orphaned but it was on someone's overview (at least the user said so) which is why I titled the card that way.

On mine I also have a drill down that shows some other card info and then has a link to the card using this Beast Mode

CONCAT('<a href="', 'https://yourdomain.domo.com/page/-100000/kpis/details/',`Card ID`, '" target="_blank">', `Title`, '</a>')

As far as "impacting current users" goes

My card has owner name and not ID and then I usually ask the top users to review the cards to go through their orphans or if its just a couple I will link them in an email and get approval. I also like to do a sanity check and go to the admin settings and search for the card ID directly just to make sure it is truly an orphan.

And if you want to get real fancy you can build a recursive dataflow to track your improvements overtime. Orphan card cleanup is something I have heavily worked on for the past year and a half. We started with about 1,500 and are now just down to a few hundred.
