Remove unused namespaces across a whole project or solution at once

Question

I know you can do it file by file.

Is there any way to do this in one step for all files in a project?

Here's a small improvement on the script above for VB.NET. Make sure you have the Productivity Power Tools installed.

    Private Sub RemoveAndSortSome(ByVal projectItem As ProjectItem)
    On Error Resume Next
    If projectItem.Kind = Constants.vsProjectItemKindPhysicalFile Then
        If projectItem.Name.LastIndexOf(".cs") = projectItem.Name.Length - 3 Then
            Dim window As Window = projectItem.Open(Constants.vsViewKindCode)

            window.Activate()

            projectItem.Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.RemoveAndSort")

            window.Close(vsSaveChanges.vsSaveChangesYes)

        ElseIf projectItem.Name.LastIndexOf(".vb") = projectItem.Name.Length - 3 Then
            Dim window As Window = projectItem.Open(Constants.vsViewKindCode)

            window.Activate()

            projectItem.Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand("EditorContextMenus.CodeWindow.OrganizeImports.RemoveandSortImports")

            window.Close(vsSaveChanges.vsSaveChangesYes)
        End If
    End I
