During the Phase 2 redundancy cleanup of the My Blog Project repository, significant improvements were achieved across three key areas of optimisation. The image asset cleanup successfully removed 6 unused files totalling approximately 1.6MB of storage, including the elimination of an exact duplicate (eternity.webp) while preserving the referenced version (eternity_1990.webp).

This optimisation resulted in a perfectly efficient image repository with 100% utilisation of all 10 remaining assets. Duplicate post file resolution addressed content redundancy by removing 2 duplicate markdown files after careful content analysis—specifically, removing an earlier announcement post about the “A Fire Within” fragrance in favour of a more detailed review, and consolidating two different “Bois Talisman” posts by keeping the more informative technical review.

The virtual environment dependency audit revealed that previous maintenance had already optimized the package set from the originally identified 34 packages down to 19 essential dependencies, with the only required action being the restoration of the bleach package for HTML sanitization functionality.

Combined with the previously completed Phase 1 log file cleanup, the total repository optimisation achieved approximately 165.6MB in storage savings while maintaining full functionality and improving overall repository health and maintenance efficiency.
