i have numerous ipo’s, actions and images which are not being used. How can i remove them from my file, because they are very annoying when trying to find a specific one.
Unlink the actions ipos with the “X” button on their right, then check if they don’t have fake users , save your work, close blender, open blender, open work, they should be gonne
Either that, or there will be a circle beside the name, in which you need to once again, save your work, re-open blender, and your work.
I wish there was just a button that got rid of the ipo/image, and cleared it of all links, so I don’t have to go through a bunch of my models just to find a small face that might be linked to it. 
Is that really too much to ask for?
