How to "automatically" remove unused units from uses clause?

Question

Does anyone know about a utility, that can automatically detect and remove unrequired units from the uses clause?

Preferably it ..

• can be run against a unit and/or a project
• is free and works with Delphi 2010

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm. How about searching for "[delphi] unused uses" on this site? :-) – Jurgen

I suppose you're right... please forgive me, this is my very first question posted on SO. However, the notion of posting a very specific question and getting a prompt, up-to-date response, from people willing to share is very compelling :) LONG LIVE DELPHI!!! (sorry I couldn't resist) – Preform

No prob. I just wanted to give you a heads up. :-) – Jurgen

Answer 1

Try using the "Uses Unit Cleaner" Wizard from CnPack you can download from here

Another option is use ICARUS.

ICARUS is a small subset of Pascal Analyzer. It parses Delphi or Borland Pascal source code and generates a list of unneeded unit references in your uses lists

Thanks, these both look very promising. Sidebar: It never ceases to amaze me how I've managed to miss little nuggets, like these... after using Delphi for more than a decade! – Preform

The uses cleaner in cnPack is awesome, although I've found it a bit buggy when removing unused units (works great in finding them). Sometimes it removes some extra characters. – Ventricose

It's also worth checking out Pascal Analyser also from Peganza, which adds a lot of functionality beyond Icarus – Ventricose

ICARUS is no longer listed as a product at Peganza. – Mauretta

"Pascal Analyzer Lite replaces ICARUS, our free product for analysis of Delphi uses lists." – Whinstone

Answer 2

ICARUS from Peganza does something similar.

Since 2017 Icarus is replaced with Pascal Analyzer lite – Helicopter
