Identifying inactive Evar, Prop, Event

We're doing cleanup on our Adobe Analytics report suite/organization. There are certain evars and events that we've manually identified as no longer being in use or mapped to our tag manager. Is there an easy/automatic way to identify the evars, props, and events that are no longer receiving hits?

@alchan - you can use health dashboard to run it to see which variables are still collecting data/not in use etc. https://new.express.adobe.com/webpage/y6DGOeWmpo7Uh

Interesting question. I think the answer to "easy" is no. 

What I did some time ago is create a big (slow) workspace that contained every custom dimension. I would not say it is easy. But I only had to do it once. This would be even harder for events, given the number of events available.

You can select all the dimensions in the left rail fairly easily, but if you drop them into a quick segment, they will all be in the same segment. You can't just drop multiple dimensions onto a workspace canvas and have them all populate.

You could also try the Adobe Analytics Health Dashboard?
