Data Cleanup & Performance Optimization: Keeping Your Forest Vibrant

“Forests need regular pruning and care, and digital forests need wise cleanup and optimization. Keep your MononoMori in optimal condition, fresh and organized like a spring forest.”

Regular data cleanup and performance optimization are essential for maintaining MononoMori’s long-term healthy operation. Through systematic maintenance strategies, you can ensure smooth app performance while keeping your digital forest in optimal organization and user experience.

🧹 Regular Data Cleanup: Spring Cleaning for Your Forest

Understanding the Importance of Data Cleanup

Why Regular Cleanup is Needed:

• Storage Space Optimization: Clear useless data to free up valuable device storage space
• Performance Enhancement: Reduce data redundancy, improve app response speed and search efficiency
• Organization Optimization: Remove outdated information, maintain clear and orderly data structure
• User Experience: Reduce visual noise, provide a cleaner usage experience

Natural Laws of Data Accumulation:

• Item Lifecycle: Natural cycle from item addition to use to disposal
• Tag Evolution: Redundant tags caused by changes in tag usage habits
• Space Migration: Location structure adjustments brought by changes in living spaces
• Usage Pattern Changes: Data usage pattern changes caused by personal habit changes

Recycle Bin Management Strategy

Intelligent Recycle Bin Management

Automatic Cleanup Mechanism:

• Time Threshold Setting: Set automatic deletion time for recycle bin items (30 days, 90 days, etc.)
• Capacity Limit Management: Automatically clean oldest items when recycle bin reaches certain capacity
• Smart Priority: Prioritize cleaning items with lower value or high redundancy
• User Notification Alerts: Notify users for confirmation before automatic cleanup

Tiered Cleanup Strategy:

🗑️ Recycle Bin Cleanup Priority

High Priority Cleanup:
- Duplicate items from test additions
- Obviously incorrect abandoned entries
- Expired temporary item records
- Isolated data without relationships

Medium Priority Cleanup:
- Long-unused old item records
- Outdated seasonal items
- Replaced upgrade item records
- Functionally duplicate similar items

Low Priority Retention:
- Memorial items with emotional value
- Valuable items that might be reacquired
- Important items with complete usage history
- Items with important associations to other items

Recycle Bin Review Process

Regular Review Schedule:

• Weekly Quick Check: Quick browse of recycle bin, handle obviously deletable items
• Monthly Deep Review: Carefully check each item, decide whether to restore or permanently delete
• Seasonal Major Cleanup: Comprehensive recycle bin cleanup combined with seasonal organization
• Annual Archive Organization: Year-end complete recycle bin cleanup and archiving

Review Decision Framework:

Recycle Bin Item Review Decision Tree:

Item Enters Recycle Bin →
├─ Is it mistakenly deleted?
│  ├─ Yes → Restore immediately
│  └─ No → Continue evaluation
├─ Does it have emotional value?
│  ├─ Yes → Transfer to Memory Forest
│  └─ No → Continue evaluation
├─ Might it be needed again?
│  ├─ Yes → Assess probability level
│  │  ├─ High probability → Restore to active status
│  │  └─ Low probability → Continue monitoring
│  └─ No → Permanently delete

Duplicate Data Identification and Processing

Smart Duplicate Detection Algorithm

Multi-Dimensional Matching Detection:

• Name Similarity: Detect similar names based on text similarity algorithms
• Attribute Matching: Compare item categories, tags, descriptions, and other attributes
• Image Similarity: Detect similar photos through image hash algorithms
• Location Association: Consider similarity of item storage locations
• Time Proximity: Items created close in time might be duplicates

Duplicate Type Classification:

🔍 Duplicate Data Type Identification

Complete Duplicates:
- Name, attributes, description completely identical
- Usually caused by accidental operations or sync errors
- Recommendation: Direct merge or delete duplicates

Near Duplicates:
- Similar names but slightly different attributes
- Might be different records of same item
- Recommendation: Manual confirmation then merge

Functional Duplicates:
- Different items but same function/purpose
- Might have replacement or upgrade relationships
- Recommendation: Evaluate if multiple items need retention

Semantic Duplicates:
- Different expressions but pointing to same entity
- Like "iPhone" and "Apple Phone"
- Recommendation: Unify naming or establish associations

Duplicate Data Merge Strategy

Automatic Merge Rules:

• Complete Match: Automatically suggest merging completely identical item records
• Attribute Inheritance: Preserve most complete attribute information during merge
• History Retention: Retain all historical records and timestamps after merge
• Relationship Maintenance: Ensure correct associative relationships after merge

Manual Merge Guidance:

📋 Item Merge Operation Guide

Preparation Phase:
1. Confirm both records indeed point to same item
2. Compare completeness and accuracy of both records
3. Check if related tags and categories are consistent
4. Confirm merge won't affect other associated data

Merge Execution:
1. Select more complete record as master record
2. Supplement useful information from auxiliary record to master
3. Merge tag sets from both records
4. Integrate all related usage history

Verification Confirmation:
1. Check if merged record information is complete and correct
2. Verify all associative relationships are normal
3. Confirm search and filter functions work normally
4. Test related functions are unaffected

Outdated Data Identification and Archiving

Data Lifecycle Management

Data Status Classification:

📊 Data Activity Level Classification

Active Data:
- Recently frequently accessed and modified
- Currently used items
- Marking: Green indicator

Dormant Data:
- Long-term unaccessed but still valid
- Seasonal or backup items
- Marking: Yellow indicator

Outdated Data:
- No longer relevant historical data
- Replaced or upgraded item records
- Marking: Orange indicator

Candidate Deletion:
- Confirmed no longer needed data
- Waiting for user final deletion confirmation
- Marking: Red indicator

Automatic Outdated Detection Rules:

• Time Threshold: Item records unaccessed for over a year
• Status Identification: Items marked as “damaged” or “lost” for over 6 months
• Usage Frequency: Items with continuously declining usage frequency approaching zero
• Association Analysis: Isolated records with very low association to other active data

Smart Archive Suggestion System

Archive Suggestion Algorithm:

# Archive suggestion scoring algorithm example
def calculate_archive_score(item):
    score = 0

    # Time factor (40%)
    days_since_last_access = (now - item.last_accessed).days
    if days_since_last_access > 365:
        score += 40
    elif days_since_last_access > 180:
        score += 20

    # Usage frequency (30%)
    if item.usage_frequency < 0.1:  # Rarely used
        score += 30
    elif item.usage_frequency < 0.3:
        score += 15

    # Association level (20%)
    if item.relationships_count < 2:
        score += 20
    elif item.relationships_count < 5:
        score += 10

    # Completeness (10%)
    if not item.has_image and not item.description:
        score += 10

    return min(score, 100)  # Maximum 100 points

Personalized Archive Strategy:

• User Preference Learning: Learn user acceptance patterns for archive suggestions
• Category Differentiation: Different item categories use different archiving standards
• Seasonal Consideration: Consider seasonal usage characteristics of items
• Value Assessment: Comprehensively consider economic and emotional value of items
