Located databases no longer used.

I’m looking to locate databases that have not been written to or accessed for
a specified period of time; we are looking to locate databases that are not
used anymore and clean house. Is there a system table or stored procedure to
access this information? Thank you in advance for you assistance.

No there is not. Your best bet is to run a continuous trace filtered on the
particular db(s) and see if anything accesses them.
