Highlights

A Plugin for Obsidian

How does it work?

Find orphaned files

This plugin goes through your whole vault and searches for files, which are linked nowhere. In other words: Files with no backlinks.

In the end, it will create a file with a list of links to these orphaned files. Now you can either delete these unused files or link them somewhere in your vault.

Creates a file with a list of links, which linked file has not been created yet.

In addition, there is a command to create those linked files.

Find empty files

Creates a file with a list of empty files. Files with just frontmatter are considered empty as well. ⤴️

Use-case: Wiki maintenance
