I did a bit of house cleaning today.  I had memory issues and need to have this website use the least amount of memory as possible.  I deleted some unused files, deleted some unused applications, deleted some unused databases and disabled some unused features.

When you use web application frameworks, as I do, they come with a lot of features built in.  Do you really need those features?  If not, get rid of them.  They take up space, memory (if loaded), and clutter schema in your databases.  It is also a good idea to disable or delete a database that isn't in use.  You can even programatically (thru SMO) turn databases off and on when you need them.  I've done that at work but not personally.  I need to start maintaining my personal systems like I do at work.

Here is a recent post on the mojoPortal site about why this topic came up today. http://www.mojoportal.com/ForumThreadView.aspx?thread=1679&mid=34&pageid=5&ItemID=2
