purging advanced action scripts?

Question

Adobe Captivate 11.8.2.216Mini Mac Pro M2OS Ventura 13.5.2 I was doing a purge of advanced action scripts as a piece of housekeeping to get rid of unused scripts etc. I had a captivate slide that had a button with an advanced action script assigned to it. The slide was no longer needed and it was deleted from Captivate and deleted from the system bin. On selecting this particular script to check its usage using the "usage" button in the advanced actions dialogue box I was expecting the "not in use' response. However, I get the warning dialogue "Script is used by more than one event. Please clear the references before deleting". I have been through all the scripts applied to buttons etc in the project and can find no reference to this script. Anyone any idea why this script cannot be deleted and what is the fix please. ThanksBob

That is an old pain. To be able to delete an advanced action, you need first to take it away from all the events triggering that action or you'll encounter the problem you described.

It was one reason more for my increasing use of shared actions which are so much easier to manage and use in multiple projects. If they could at least have transferred that workflow to advanced actions... Now it will be wishful thinking because there are no advanced actions in the most recent version 12. Housekeeping will not be easier.
