[Cialug] Cleaning out a network share

[Daniel.Juliano at wellsfargo.com]

I guess I'm shooting for more along the lines of 'visualization' than
outright deletion.

We've got a decade of automated tasks / programs / whatever that have
been using the share as a dumping ground, and outright deletion is not
what management is looking for.  The worst case scenario is each person
gets assigned a folder to review, and each file is manually checked for
utility value.  Again, this is a task where 'seeing what we've got'
would save us significant man hours.

1) Make a backup - or two
2) Delete it all
3) only restore things if they can tell you where or what it is, or what
it is called.
