Dutch term or phrase: opschonen van data
Ik kom niet verder dan 'cleaning up data' maar heb sterk het gevoel dat er iets beters moet zijn.
Ergens 'in the back of my head' zingt iets rond maar ik kan het net niet verstaan.

Hier een voorbeeld waarin het gebruikt wordt 'Voordat de extracties van de acceptatieomgeving plaatsvinden, moet de klant het opschonen van de data hebben afgerond.'

Explanation:
depends on the context: if it's cleaning up by zapping old redundant data, then purge is a common term

neutral  Michael Beijer: or clean up / cleanup (as in 'data cleanup'); see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_cleansing. I actually suspect that purging is only one way to clean (or cleans) data.
