Best Practices for Removing Unused Code

Question

I\'d like to know what people\'s best practices are for removing unused code. Personally I\'m a fan of deleting (not just commenting) anything that\'s not currently being used.

Answer 1

If you are using a source control system, deleting the code is my preferred option.

It won't get in your way when working with the current code, and you'll always have the code in the repository if you ever need it again.
