Find...Usages
I am cleaning up an old project - a web app containing 900+ pages, a mix of .net and classic asp, a bunch of .css and .js files, images, etc.
Task: Identify which of the supporting files are not being used anywhere in the web app.
Example: questionable.js
Attempt 1: Find Usages. No results.
Attempt 2: Find Usages Advanced w/ Textual Occurrances. No results.
Attempt 3: Find Code Issues on the solution. Nope. If they are identified in there somewhere, I don't see it.
Attempt 4: text search Find In Files for "questionable.js" - Aha. There's 30 files using it in a <script> declaration.
Is there some way other than a bloody text search to find these? If so, is there a way to do this in bulk? I'd also like to check a bunch of supporting classic .asp files to see if they aren't being used in an <!--#include> declaration somewhere. I'd also like to identify which image files are not being used.
Am I stuck with manual searching?
