ABSTRACT:
Aspects for identifying stale contents in a file system include processing a set of attributes of each file in the file system. These aspects further also include determining access times at the directory level, recursively, from all the files in lower-level directories. The aspects further include identifying the highest-level stale directories in the file system.
