Deleting unused images in RoboHelp

You can view the list of unused image files in the RoboHelp project from: Tools>Reports>Unused Files. However, you cannot delete those files from the RoboHelp project. You can delete the file names from the Windows Explorer, which is a tedious work and prone to error. It becomes more challenging when the size of your project is big and files got filled up during several updates.

RoboHelp support java script to automate the task in the project. Don’t worry if you are not expert in java script. You can download the imagecleanup.jsx that is freely available at: https://www.wvanweelden.eu/product/image-cleanup
  1. Open the RoboHelp project for which you want to delete unused images.
  2. To open the Script Explorer pod, click View>Pods>Script Explorer.
    The 
    Script Explorer pod opens.
