How to find unneeded PackageReference in csproj

Question

I am in the process of doing clean up on a project that has gone through much of the dev cycle and is almost ready to go to production. I wanted to remove any unneeded PackageReferences in the the csproj but can not seem to find any way to detect them, except to perhaps to remove each one individually and try building... is there an easy way to see which of the PackageReferenceare actually needed for your project?

You can use Visual Studio Extension: ResolveUR - Resolve Unused References or use Resharper if you have installed it.
