Project
Clean-Up is a tool located under
Admin > Project > Choose Project > Clean Up tab for users with
Manage Project permissions. Some of the scenarios where a Project
Clean-Up is recommended are when the Project Tree or Search service display rare behaviours like the following:
- Users cannot select an item from the Explorer Tree or within search or filter results, and are prompted with "This item has been deleted"
- Users cannot select an item from the Explorer Tree or within search or filter results, and are prompted with "You don't have permissions to perform this action"
- Hierarchy sequence of the Explorer Tree is inconsistent with the List View
- An item cannot be located it in the Explorer Tree even though it can be seen in the List View
- Batch deleted items remain in the Explorer Tree or show up in filter results
Cleaning up the project does not interfere with item history or the option to restore any deleted item; this is a background process. When it starts, it displays a quick message in the UI and, once completed, a second message is displayed.
Self-hosted customers can confirm the cleanup actions and the successful completion of the process in the server logs.

Project Managers can reach out to their local Jama System Administrator, or Jama Support in case of a Cloud instance, to request this data.
The tool's purpose is to look for nodes on the Project Tree with inconsistent states in regards to the items they reference, as well as active items that have inactive ancestors, bringing them to a consistent state. It will re-calculate sort orders and compare them with the ones saved in the database, re-calculate global sort orders and compare them the one ones saved in the database, re-index items that have been modified and, where necessary, will invalidate the Project's Tree cache.
This feature does not require re-indexing or downtime; however, for a large Project Tree, we recommended performing the Clean-Up at a low-usage time.
If one of the mentioned scenarios persists after a project's Clean-Up, feel free to open a ticket with Jama Support.
