Delete all character styles (used or unused).

I need a script that deletes all character styles and “Preserves Formatting” and “Apply to All” and “Replace with:[None]” (screenshot below) — whether it’s used or not.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Delete all character styles after “[None]”.

Hi,

Try this!!!

#target InDesign    
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;   
var Cstyles = myDoc.characterStyles.length;    
for(var c=Cstyles-1; c>0; c--)  
{    
  myDoc.characterStyles.remove();    
}

Thanks,

Prabu G
