Is there a tool to clean a directory structure of unused LabVIEW code?

I could write this from scratch as follows:

 

  1. Load all of my LabVIEW code including dynamically-called VIs into memory, then list all these VIs.
  2. List all VIs in the directory structure I want to clean.
  3. For each VI in the directory structure that's not in memory, delete it. If this leaves that VI's parent directory empty, delete that parent directory.

 

There is probably already a tool or VI that does this, but I can't find it. Does such a thing exist?

bmihura,

I to have had the need/desire to do this.  At my previous employer I wrote a tool that assisted with that function.  Unfortunately I no longer have access to that tool.  If you have a very big program you may have memory and speed related issues when you load "all the VI's into memory".  

 

Good Luck
