Initial release.

Orphan Cleaner scans your vault for files with no incoming or outgoing links — orphans — and lets you review and delete them safely.

Features

  • Finds files with no incoming links (nothing references them) and no outgoing links (they don't link out to anything else).
  • Confirmation dialog lists every orphan file found before anything is deleted, and explains how deletion will behave based on your vault's trash setting (system trash, vault .trash, or permanent deletion).
  • Deletes through Obsidian's file manager, respecting your vault's trash settings.
  • Configurable file extensions to scan (default: md png jpeg pdf).
  • Configurable excluded paths — folders or specific files that should never be treated as orphans.
  • Optional setting to skip any file that has at least one tag, even if it's otherwise unlinked.

Installing

Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from this release and copy them to <VaultFolder>/.obsidian/plugins/orphan-cleaner/, then enable Orphan Cleaner in Settings → Community plugins.
