VS2010 delete unused images/files

Find Unused Resources in a .NET Solution

In a webapplication we have a lot of images and some of them are not used/referenced anymore. Is there way (tool or something) to get a list of all these unused files or/and delete them?

I be it could be tricky to decide whether image is referenced somewhere or not. Let's imagine some js like: `$('img#foobar').attr('src', '/path' + '/to' + '/image.' + ext);` — zerkms, Mar 21 '11 at 12:50
There is a free extension called Code Maid -- https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/76293c4d-8c16-4f4a-aee6-21f83a571496 -- that will find unused images or files and will search everywhere including css and js files. — NickNo, Feb 06 '15 at 09:02
There's an open-source VS extension that does that https://github.com/jitbit/vs-unused-image-finder (disclaimer: I'm a conributor!) — Alex from Jitbit, Jan 18 '16 at 17:52

A manual approach - If you have Resharper installed, you can right-click and choose "Find Usages" this will look in your project for a reference to the selected image.

I want to upvote you, but I just can't. That would be so painful for more then a few items. – Jeremy Roberts Mar 21 '11 at 12:53

FYI - You can select more than a single image file at a time. – Brian Schmitt Mar 21 '11 at 12:55

The Resharper "Find Usages" doesn't find references in css files. – S. Flart Mar 21 '11 at 13:07
