A great advantage of including it as SPS is that it can auto detect the SyMenu folder.
I attach it here and I create the SPS: SyMenu Orphan Icons Cleaner.

; V.2.0.-2017.02.06: First version in SPS App: It allows auto detect the SyMenu folder

I have an idea.
Since your application is really usefull why don't you publish it in the SyMenu Suite?

You're already publishing the SyMenu Published App Track. You could call this one "SyMenu Orphan Icons cleaner" or something similar.
In this way your application will have a greater audience because this forum is attended only from a minor part of the SyMenu user base. Otherwise than the PAT this application is really useful for any SyMenu user.]]> Mon, 06 Feb 2017 09:29:30 GMT https://ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=468 Sun, 05 Feb 2017 10:43:06 GMT https://ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=468 Thank You!]]> Wed, 01 Feb 2017 05:25:03 GMT https://ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=468 ....... but I'll make an exception for that "brillian/usefullt" AutoHotKey script

Thanks VVV_Easy_Symenu

If you want, and above all if you have further time to dedicate to this script, I can give you some hints to improve the user experience.

But there is one important thing you should anyhow change. I have some doubts about the backup folder you choose.
The _OrphanIcons folder is inside the SPS suite folder and it seems that the trashed icons are only the suite's ones.
You could create your trash folder directly under the SyMenu root calling it IconsTrashed to leave it near the original Icons folder. It become easier to remember where the trashed icons are and eventually to restore some of them.

Thank you very much for another useful piece of software ]]> Mon, 30 Jan 2017 09:06:15 GMT https://ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=468 Run, put the SyMenu work folder, ¡Go! and the SyMenu_Orphan_Icons program read the Icons folder, search if the ico file name is present in the SyMenuItem.xml file and, if not present, then list and move the icon to a SPSSuite\SyMenuSuite\_Trash\_OrphanIcons\ (in verbose mode it list (but not move) the active icons too).
I try it several times but for your own tranquillity make a copy of the Icons folder before use this Ahk script.

Anyway to partially solve your problem you can follow this advise.
Statistically the most useless icons are the identical ones because among the group you can find one linked and the others unlinked. It takes only a few minutes to kill them all.
Then when you find a program without an icon you can use SyMenu to extract it again.
I had 847 icons before this activity and 570 after. In one minute.

But I have another solution.
SyMenu is extensible and a plugin to delete the unlinked icons will be a really useful one. So if someone wants to try, please contact me in private.]]> Sat, 28 Jan 2017 20:07:39 GMT https://ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=468 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 19:16:41 GMT https://ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=468 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 12:28:47 GMT https://ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=468
So that's nearly 4000 icons in the icons folder!
It's not a real problem at the moment as they are small files (see Note), but... obviously I have an update issue!!

I found no related post in the forum

Any clue??
