From @towsey (https://github.com/QutBioacoustics/Ecoacoustics/issues/197):

Removal of obsolete classes from the AudioAnalysis solution.

The following classes have the potential to be removed from AnalysisPrograms. There may be unintended consequences that require, for example, the moving of single methods to another class etc.
There may be other classes that could be removed - I have only indicated those which I have worked on.

• CanetoadOld_OBSOLETE.cs
• Crow.cs
• Dong.Felt.Main.cs
• DrawEasyImage.cs
• EPR.cs
• FeltTemplate_Create.cs
• FeltTemplate_Edit.cs
• FeltTemplates_Use.cs
• FrogRibit_OBSOLETE.cs
• Frogs_OBSOLETE.cs
• GratingDetection_OBSOLETE.cs
• HerveGlotinCollaboration.cs
• Human1.cs
• LewinsRail3OBSOLETE.cs
• LimnodynastesConvex_OBSOLETE.cs
• LitoriaFallax_OBSOLETE.cs
• PlanesTrainsAndAutomobiles.cs
• Rain_OBSOLETE.cs
• RheobatrachusSilus.cs
• SPR_OBSOLETE.cs
• SURFAnalysis.cs
• XiesAnalysis.cs

Some classes in other folders that can likely be removed.

• /Recognizers/CriniaTinnula_OBSOLETE.cs
• /AnalysisConfigFiles/Towsey.MultiAnalyser.OBSOLETE.yml
• /AudioAnalysisTools/BirdClefExperiment1.cs
• /AudioAnalysisTools/FrommoltProject.cs
• /AudioAnalysisTools/SURFFeatures.cs
• /AudioAnalysisTools/DSP/AudioSegmentationOBSOLETE.cs
• /AudioAnalysis/Dong.Felt
• /AudioAnalysis/TowseyLibrary/Gratings.cs
