Removing all unused references from a project in Visual Studio projects

Question

I just wondered if it possible within various Visual Studio versions to automatically remove all references from a project that were never been used?

Answer 1

The following method does not depend on any 'add-on's and is not very painful.

Step through each of your source files and

1. Select all (Ctrl-A)
2. Toggle outline expansion (Ctrl-M, M). This will reduce the file to two lines.
3. Click on the namespace's '+'. This will show each of the file's classes as a single line. Scan each class's reference count, looking for unreferenced classes.
4. Click on each of the classes' '+'. This will show each of the class functions as a single line. Scan each function's reference count, looking for unreferenced functions.

Scanning each file looking for '0 reference' takes only a second.

Scanning an entire project takes only a couple of minutes.
