    Default Extensions to find out unused files

    is there a dreamweaver extension to find what files in the site are unlinked
    (or maybe that functionality already is native in Dreamweaver ?)
    I have a site which is a copy of an old one, and I want to remove all the
    unlinked old files.

    Default Re: Extensions to find out unused files

    Hi Joe,

    Dreamweaver's built-in sitewide link checker should do the trick for you.
    Site> Check Links Sitewide. When you get the results, you can switch to the
    orphaned files. Those are the ones that aren't used anywhere.

    You should make a backup first just in case it gets something wrong
    (possibly because the file is used in a scripting language and may not be
    recognized as a file).

    Hope that helps!
