Find the files in your game folder that nothing uses anymore

After a few weeks of asking an AI for changes, the folder fills with old pictures and sounds that no part of the game loads. Deleting them cuts the download, but deleting one that is picked by name at run time breaks the game. This entry shows how to tell the two apart.

Why this works

Whether a file is used is a question of whether anything can reach it, not whether its name appears somewhere. Following the links from the start finds the cut-off ones, and naming the families of names built while playing protects files that no text mentions.

When not to use it

Deleting on the list's word alone is wrong when other people's work depends on the folder, as with shared art packs or files other tools read. Then move the files aside first, run the whole game, and only then remove them for good.
