    Hello,

    Currently, CodeRush can remove unused namespace references for the given code file. Functionality to remove unused assemblies from the selected project is not yet implemented in CodeRush, however, it is high on our priority list and we will work on this feature in future updates. We will update this ticket as soon as we make progress in this regard.

    Hi,
    I have good news for you. In the 17.2.3 update, we have added the ability to remove unused references from a project. You can perform it by usage of the corresponding item in the project's right-click context menu:

    For more information, please refer to the What's New page. You can download the latest build from the Visual Studio Market Place.

    We are looking forward to hear your feedback.

        Dear DevExpress Support,
        Hi Alexander,

        may the question is old, but does CodeRush check DevExpress References, too?

        I added a few unnecessary references to DevExpress .ddl's but CodeRush didn't find them, just some System. and Window. references.

          Hello Hille,

          Remove Unused References has additional configuration options which can be used to configure a list of assemblies to include or exclude from the analysis.
          Please refer to the following article for more details: Remove Unused Assembly References
          Note: if you include DevExpress assemblies into analysis then you might need to ensure yourself that suggested assemblies for removal are not needed for your application deployment as Remove Unused References only checks compilation and does not check your specific application deployment scenarios.
