Document.Cleanup() not removing all unused styles and lists

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

I have a very simple test where I am opening an input document and Copies styles from the input1.xml & input2.xml to the input.docx document and imported all content into the input.docx document.

After that, I used Document.Cleanup() with the following options

 CleanupOptions cleanupOptions = new CleanupOptions();
 cleanupOptions.DuplicateStyle = true;
 cleanupOptions.UnusedStyles = true;
 cleanupOptions.UnusedLists = true;
 document.Cleanup(cleanupOptions);

But all unused styles and lists are not removed after Cleanup().

I have created a sample demo application to reproduce this issue, PFA.

@GZaha

We added a new public property CleanupOptions.UnusedBuiltinStyles in Aspose.Words 21.4 to remove unused built-in styles from document. You can also use this property to remove built-in styles from the document if you want.

Document doc = new Document("input.docx");
CleanupOptions cleanupOptions = new CleanupOptions();
cleanupOptions.UnusedBuiltinStyles = true;
doc.Cleanup(cleanupOptions);

It seems that I’m encountering an issue with the document cleanup process. I have a straightforward test in which I open an input document and copy styles from the “input1.xml” and “input2.xml” files to the “input.docx” document. Following this, I import all the content into the “input.docx” document.

Subsequently, I utilize the Document.Cleanup() function with the specified options:

csharp

CleanupOptions cleanupOptions = new CleanupOptions();
cleanupOptions.DuplicateStyle = true;
cleanupOptions.UnusedStyles = true;
cleanupOptions.UnusedLists = true;
document.Cleanup(cleanupOptions);

However, it appears that despite applying the cleanup with the specified options, unused styles and lists are not being removed as expected. To help identify and resolve this issue, I’ve created a sample demo application that demonstrates the problem. Please find the demo application attached (PFA).
