Unused Code Hunter Pro: Dead Imports & Code Cleaner 🧹
Detect and clean unused dependencies, dead imports, and orphaned functions across JavaScript, TypeScript & Python workspaces!
Keep your bundles lean, compilation fast, and codebases clutter-free with 1-click batch cleanup.
🧹 Why Unused Code Hunter Pro?
Over months of active development and refactoring, projects inevitably accumulate:
Ghost Dependencies: Packages remaining in package.json that are never imported anywhere.
Dead Imports: Leftover import { a, b, c } specifiers that add bundle bloat and linter noise.
Orphaned Exports: Exported helper functions and classes that are no longer referenced by any file in the workspace.
Unused Code Hunter Pro provides an automated, non-destructive audit engine right inside VS Code:
⚡ 1-Click Workspace Scan: Press Alt + Shift + U (Cmd + Shift + U on macOS) to audit your entire workspace in milliseconds.
📦 Dependency Pruning: Discovers unused packages in dependencies and devDependencies and generates a 1-click npm uninstall command.
🧹 Safe Import Removal: Clean single files or batch-clean imports with zero risk—every edit hooks into VS Code's standard Undo stack (Ctrl + Z).
📁 Explorer Tree View: Integrated sidebar tree under VS Code Explorer to browse unused code by category.
🌐 Interactive Dashboard: Full-screen visual report with metrics, filter tabs, and direct jump-to-line navigation.
