Photoshop: Delete all unused layers in ALL layer comps feature.

Good news everyone! I created script for removing layers not used in any layer comp. Download here: https://bereza.cz/ps/

• Locked layers are skipped (unlike built-in feature Layer > Delete > Hidden Layers)
• Works with and without layer compositions
• Super fast. Thousands of layers in few seconds. Should be much faster than any other scripts.
• Also handles clipped layers

actually if you click the hamburger menu on the Filter part, there is a "Delete Hidden Layers" option.  I created an Action using it! Finding out about the Attribute Filter was fantastic though! Thanks!

Thank you so very much!

Just tried your trick and it works great.
Still want the simple menu command but until then this will do :)
Thanks for the tip!

Same (20 or more layer comps). That's why I'm such a keyboard ninja with them. So still this doesn't take long. Still still, a native solution like you suggest would be nice.

Good point but I often have documents with 20 or more layer comps. Makes the process pretty tedious. I think that a simple "delete unused layers" would be easy enough to hook up to the layer dropdown menu. :)
Cheers.

Would love to have the ability, in the layer dropdown menu, to delete empty layers (no pixels) and also delete unused layers. The unused layers would be based on whether the layers are used in any layer comps. (love layer comps BTW).

Scripts scare me, so I found a really freaking easy workaround:

1. Filter layers list to Attribute = Not Visible
2. Select all the matching layers
3. Cycle through all layer comps
4. Layers still selected aren’t used in any layer comp

Delete the layers that are still selected. Bingo bango. With keyboard shortcuts for navigating layer comps, this takes like 7 seconds or something.

thanks a lot.. it worked perfectly 🙂

Cool! Thanks Paul.
