What does 'Orphaned' mean in Delta Drive?
Short answer: Orphaned lists files unchanged for over a year. It's only a date, not a verdict — files you rely on but never edit look the same — so review before moving anything to the trash.
Orphaned is a lens in Index & notes for files nothing has changed in over a year. It's a date, not a judgement: a file you never edit but rely on looks exactly the same from here as one you've forgotten.
Read the list before acting on it. If something really isn't needed, Move to Trash keeps it recoverable until you empty the trash.
Analytics also shows anything nobody has opened since recording started. See Analytics.
