Cleaner

Use Cleaner to inspect the relationships between project Layers, Views, Layouts and Publisher Sets. It helps identify items that may be unused, while showing the dependencies that should be checked before removing them.

At a glance

  • Follow dependencies across Layers, Layer Combinations and the Navigator structure.
  • Inspect the results and open supported project items.
  • Export the findings or remove supported items after reviewing their use.
Project columns and dependenciesChoose the parts of the project structure to inspect.

The six available columns are Layers, Layer Combinations, Project Map, View Map, Layout Book and Publisher Sets. Show the columns relevant to the cleanup task.

Use Search to narrow the displayed names and paths. Select an item to trace its dependencies across the columns. Supported items can also be opened directly from the results.

Layers and Layer CombinationsInspect layers alongside the combinations that use them.
Interpreting unused itemsReview what a result means before treating it as safe to delete.

A Layer identified as unused may not be visible in any Layer Combination but can still contain model elements. Similarly, an empty Layout result can mean that it has no linked saved View, even though other drawing content is present.

A View that is not placed on a Layout may still be used directly in a Publisher Set. Use the dependency information to distinguish these situations from content that is genuinely unnecessary.

Project Map, View Map and Layout BookReview the flagged items and their relationships before deciding what to remove.
Refresh, report and deletionUse a current scan and retain a project backup.

Choose Refresh to rescan the project after changes. Export the findings when you need a record or want to review the cleanup with another team member.

Deletion is available only for supported item types. The tool checks access and ownership again before proceeding. Some cleanup operations cannot be undone, so keep a backup and review the selected items before confirming deletion.
