We have an application with a very deep directory with 600 vi's on the windows machine and 600 vi's on the PXI. The directory is so complex that we sometimes cannot find vi's, any suggestions, besides, make it smaller.

The person who developed the application has left the company and we now need to maintain it.

Bob recommended a very time consuming method of examining each main VI's hierarchy and storing the sub-VIs in common folders. I've attached two utilities to make that easier. DS Hierarchy to file will create a text file you can export to EXCEL to document the VI's calls.
Clean directory will move all files NOT in the VI hierarchy to any directory (folder) you specify. In other words, if you run it on MYMAIN.VI, with instructions to move unused files to folder UNUSED, then after it runs, the only *.VI files remaining in the same folder as MYMAIN will be the ones actually used by MYMAIN.
That should help.
