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

We have an "Obsolete" area in our source tree where we move stuff that is no longer used. It is away from the trunk in an area that isn't normally checked out, so nobody has to look at it.
