delete unused elements

[ufechner]

Hallo,

it would be helpful, to have a menu entry in the context menu of folders in the project view, to delete all unused elements in a given package.

Doing this manually is a lot of work.

Hi,

there's an easy way to delete unused elements. Press CTRL+F, select search "Find Orphans", run search and select those items in the resultlist you want to delete. Right MouseClick -> delete selected items.....

Yes, but beware: an orphan is an element that doesn't appear on any diagram. That doesn't mean it isn't used somewhere, as a classifier or a type for example. "Find Orphans" is certainly a good way to find candidates for deletion though.

Which raises the question what Uwe means with "unused elements"

[ufechner]

Well, I mean orphans, that are not used as types.

I don't have many classes anyway, mainly states, activities etc., so deleting all orphans but classes works fine for me in the moment.

Thank you for the workaround, the find method works really nice.
