Summary	0023928: Removing unneeded controls and lazarus automatically removes those required units for that or those controls
Description	I am just wondering if this feature could be added to lazarus. 1. you removed unneeded controls from your form (but units relating to those controls are left behind in the uses clause. 2. after removing those controls, lazarus should also remove those units required for the removed controls.

John Shand 2013-02-21 06:49 reporter ~0065792	yeah, but if you don't know the units well and what requires them, then you have a problem.

Bart Broersma 2020-12-05 14:16 developer ~0127357	Say I drop a component on the form an then later on decide to create that control elsewhere in code and then remove the now not needed component from the form: now codetools must scan my entire code to see wether or noy I use that unit before removing it? Since no developer has shown an interest in this since 2013 and since no one supplied a patch impelemnting this, I would suggest to resolve this as "no change required" or "won't fix".
