How to find unused field on salesforce?

H i want to know how to find unused field on the salesforce?

Hi Abhishek,

Salesforce Optimizer now produces a very similar result out of the box without having to install a package from the AppExchange.
 
You are after three things here;
 
(1) The Field Usage (stored in Salesforce Records)
 
(2) The Field Last Populated (for which you'd need Field History enabled or you could use the most recently record and take the created date if that field is populated)
 
(3) The Field Dependancies 
 
The first two items would be served up by one of the Salesforce APIs with a different API being needed for the last option.

or use field trip.

If this helps, Please mark it as best answer.

Thanks!!

Hi Ankaiah
I 've used salesforce optimizer on my org but my field usage is empty. Generally, How long does it take for the optimization to complete? As I saw a toast message saying it takes 24 hours but the org metrics were ready in a few mins but my field usage is still empty.

For unused fields go to workbench, Select all fields in that particular object and export a report using Bulk CSV option. If no data is in any of the fields then their is a good chance that those fields are not used anywhere. Please let me know it this helped you.
