I just wondered if it possible within various Visual Studio versions to automatically remove all references from a project that were never been used?
In your answer, please specify which version of VS the solution applies to.

To remove dependencies from projectsIn Solution Explorer, select a project. On the Project menu, choose Project Dependencies. The Project Dependencies dialog box opens. On the Dependencies tab, select a project from the Project drop-down menu.
In the first preview build of Visual Studio 2019 version 16.10, Microsoft adds a Remove Unused References command. It can be invoked by right-clicking on the project name or the dependencies node in Solution Explorer and select the " Remove Unused References... " command from the menu.
References are stored in the . csproj file.
If you have Resharper (plugin) installed, you can access a feature that allows you to analyze used references via Solution Explorer > (right click) References > Optimize References...
