Unused objects are objects that exist in a device configuration but are not referenced by another object, an access-list, or a NAT rule.

Resolve an Unused Object Issue

Open the Objects page and filter the objects to find unused object issues.
Select an unused object.
You now have these options:

In the Actions pane, click Remove to remove the unused object from CDO.
In the Issues pane, click Ignore. If you ignore an object, CDO will stop displaying it among the results of unused objects objects.

If you removed the unused object, go back to the Devices & Services page and find the devices that were affected by the change. For each affected device, select it and click Preview and Deploy... to save the changes you just made.

Note: To resolve unused object issues in bulk, see Resolve Object Issues in Bulk.

Remove Unused Objects in Bulk

Open the Objects page and filter the objects to find unused object issues.
Select the unused objects you want to delete:

Select individual unused objects in the object table.

In the Actions pane on the right, click Remove to remove all the unused objects you selected in CDO. You can remove 99 objects at a time.
Click OK to confirm you want to delete the unused objects.
Open the Devices & Services page and find the devices that were affected by the change. You have two choices:

For each individual affected device, select it and click Preview and Deploy... to save the changes you just made.
Select all the devices affected by the change and, in the Management pane, click Deploy All . Read the warning and take the appropriate action.
