Hello Kevin,
I generally eyeball my data to see if there are any strange data points. Looking at the measured errors can also give a clue as to what might be happening- as can having a look at what is happening to the Check star at the same time. I’d be vary wary of any automated process for cleaning data.
But be careful about being too enthusiastic about deleting data as the results might be real!
