Purging database/installation of unneeded DocTypes?

1

Suppose a business needs to set up a new DocType associated with a service that it sells, but they will only be selling that service for another few years, after which period the data is no longer needed.

The DocType would be similar to the Addresses DocType, and it would track real estate/parcels of land that relate to “Opportunities.” There would be quite a few fields/meta data associated with it, so using the included Addresses DocType probably isn’t ideal.

Is it adviseable, from a performance standpoint, to purge all of that data from the database?

Is it even feasible to do so?

Nope, not really. Unless we’re talking about a quantity of data that’s gotten expensive to store, unused data and doctypes don’t really affect performance.

Not without forking the app and maintaining a custom version
