Add the option to view unused references and selectively remove them OR indicate in Manage Dependencies which selected items are not used.

Removing unused references is a great piece of functionality.

It is a little blatant in its execution though. It would be nice to be able to view the unused references and then select/unselect the ones you do not want removed yet.

As an alternative, in the Manage Dependencies window, show which selected references are not currently used by way of some indicator. 

The second option might be slighlty easier to implement and also would exist in precisely the place where teh developer is busy making choices about these things.

The existing Remove Unused References would then remain as a reference cleanup tool rather than a reference management tool.

Merged this idea with ' Remove unused references based on action or data level' (created on 24 Oct 2019 07:17:46 by Zhou Shuai)

Currently, when I use Remove unused references, it removes all unused references based on eSpace or extension level, and this functionality can only detect those references directly referred. But for those entities which are used in dynamic SQL as an input parameter, it is also treated as the unused reference to be removed result in an executed error.  Can we improve this functionality to be removed on action or data level? If I remove unused from action then just remove all unused actions.

Merged this idea with 'Analyze and Remove Public Unused Elements' (created on 19 Nov 2019 11:34:29 by Rossi)

When we check an element as Public it stop checking if the element is used or not used with the yellow highlighting and we need to go manual using the feature "Find usages in all modules".

That would be great if we can have a feature to analyze all the public elements in a module and have a list of no longer used objects. In this way, we can easily remove what is no longer needed.

See enclosed draft sugestion for this feature.

I like the idea, but what about the elements that are disabled by the user?
