Hi Ihor,
Thanx ! Fixed it.
Details: I am now checking
(string= (org-attach-dir-from-id id) (org--attach-dir))
to see if the ID is used in the attachment dir (if it exists).
Background: I do not use attachments myself;
did not remember, they use IDs :-/
Best regards,
Marc

I quickly looked through the code. It seems that you do not consider
attachments, which are normally stored in a folder named after the
entry's ID property. Deleting those ID is terrible idea.
Best,
Ihor

Hi,
as I use the excellent package org-id in a somewhat non-standard way, I tend to
produce IDs, that are not referenced from anywhere. Org-id handles this great
and does not suffer in performance, but eventually I want to remove those
unreferenced IDs.
Therefore I have written a small interactive assistant:
https://github.com/marcIhm/org-working-set/blob/master/org-id-cleanup.el
to help with removing those IDs.
The assistant (interactive function: org-id-cleanup) is quite detailed with its
instructions and checks, so that the risk of doing harm ist reduced to a
minimum, although not to zero (therefore the first step is to ask for a backup).
In any case I wonder, if this functionality (removing unreferenced IDs) could
be helpful for anyone else.
So please feel free to have a look.
Finally I would be grateful for any comment whatsoever
(e.g. regarding the name of org-id-cleanup.el).
Best regards
Marc
