If a module or library has been added to an application, it was done to serve a purpose.<\/p>
It must add some required functionality that was asked for earlier in the application's lifecycle.<\/p>
It was needed then.<\/p>
But it is still needed now?<\/p>
Are the original requirements still valid?<\/p>
Have they changed or are no longer needed?<\/p>
If the code is no longer serving a purpose, it should be removed.<\/p>
Common culprits in Drupal projects are the Feeds and Migrate modules, which are used to import data from external sources, such as legacy applications when migrating to Drupal.<\/p>
Once the data has been imported and the site is live, the modules are often so longer needed.<\/p>
