Unused Objects in the Server

,

This Script is used to List out the objects lying in the box which were un used from the day of the sql server recycled. This will be useful to reclaim the unnecessary usage of space in the server and by this we can say the backup will consume less space.

Please copy the script into the sql box. Reveiw for a while and then execute and test it on any of the development box. Once you are confident enough please use on production box.
