Automatically Removing Unused Imports in VSCode

When developing in JavaScript/TypeScript, if you import an object and later remove all related code, it’s best to remove the import statement as well. Instead of manually searching for and deleting unused imports, you can use a VSCode shortcut to do it automatically.

Example

In the example below, HostListener is no longer referenced:

VSCode Default Shortcut (Windows)

Alt + Shift + O

Pressing this shortcut will make VSCode automatically remove the unused import.
