Hi Rachel,

Thanks for getting in touch! Great question. Each target has tabs to see the deployments and runbook runs executed on it in descending order, which looks like the below screenshot.

We also have a sample API script to find all machines that have not had a deployment to it in x number of days, which might be a good starting point to expand to clean up the machines returned.

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

$octopusUrl = "https://local.octopusdemos.app" ## Octopus URL to look at
$octopusApiKey = "YOUR API KEY" ## API key of user who has permissions to view all spaces, cancel tasks, and resubmit runbooks runs and deployments
$daysSinceLastDeployment = 90 ## The number of days since the last deployment to be considered unused.  Any target without a deployment in the last [90] days is considered inactive.
$includeMachineLists = $false;  ## If true, all machines in each category will get listed out to the console.  If false, just a summary of information will be included.

$tentacleCommunicationStyles = @("TentaclePassive")

        $octopusUrl,
        $endPoint,
        $spaceId,
        $apiKey,
