WHAT IT IS AND WHY IT MATTERS
What ROT data cleanup involves.
ROT data is redundant, obsolete, or trivial: duplicate copies, files past their retention period, and temporary output nobody will open again. It sits on the same storage as the data your teams need, so it is paid for, backed up, and protected like everything else.
In its Global Databerg Report, Veritas found that 33% of stored data is ROT (2016). Cleaning it up takes three things: finding it across every system, getting the owner to agree, and deleting it in a way you can defend later. Diskover does all three from one catalog.
HOW DISKOVER HELPS
Find it, confirm it, remove it, prove it.
Ask which files you can remove.
Ask which duplicates take the most space, or which projects have not been opened in 3 years, and get the matching files back with a recommended action. Every action waits for a person to approve it.
