Question

Illustrator is pasting swatches from other documents which are not used

Hi, 

I have been experiencing this issue for a very long time. When I need to copy/paste something from another document (might be a simple one-color object), many times illustrator pastes a lot of other swatches with it. They are not used anywhere, I can delete them with select all unused swatches - delete. But it is very annoying because I work with many different artwork files (for example 50 at once) which need to be swatch-perfect and I need to check a swatches panel all the time if there is not some unwanted swatch added randomly... 

Is there any solution? Thank you

Can you please select the object and show us the Appearance panel?

There might be things applied to the art that include the swatches.
