Was looking for a way to find and remove unused objects in the FMC (6.2.2) like you could with ASAs in ASDM. Is there really no way to do this?
Every other day I find some annoying little thing about the FMC and FTDs...
Regards,
Keith

Sorry but there's no utility, either built-in or external, that currently allows you to do that.

Thanks for confirming what I was afraid of @Marvin Rhoads. :sigh:

Keith, Using the migration tool we have, We can remove unused objects while migrating from PAN/ASA/Ckeclpoint to FTD.

As of Firepower 6.4, we now have the "Where used" feature. It's not 100% of what we need but a step in the right direction.
View object use
The object manager now allows you to see the policies, settings, and other objects where a network, port, VLAN, or URL object is used.
New/modified screens: Objects > Object Management > choose object type > Find Usage (binoculars) icon
Supported platforms: FMC

Wonder if it makes more sense to show the icon if it's actually in use. Perhaps it would require additional processing and slow down the interface.

I realize this is a super old thread, but it popped up in the google.
Technically speaking (on older versions) FMC will not allow you to delete an object that is being used. So you should be able to just try to delete all objects and it will stop you on the objects that are used.

Does anyone know if we can bulk-remove unused network objects on the FMC?

Not exactly in bulk, but current versions (7.0+) allow us to filter the object list to show only unused objects. You can then hit the trash icon for any user-defined unused objects. (System-defined objects must remain in FMC but are not deployed to managed devices until they are used.)

Maybe one day we can click on "Show Unused Objects" and then select all > delete. That would be what we are looking for here. Thank you Marvin.

Ctrl Select all Unused objects and right click to delete is an option to remove all Unused Objects from FMC.
