What we did was backup the name napping file and then just started deleting the ones we thought were extra. Run the tests after that and if something is missing, you can always remap it. If it seems like there are too many missing things to deal with, just put the old name mapping file back.

Here is the feature request. Please Kudo this request if you would like to see this feature added.
Hello William,
If the clean-up is very important and time consuming at this stage, I think you might consider to create a program that read your scripts as well as your Name Mapping XML file and check whether a the mapped components are not being used in your code and then delete it from the Name Mapping XML. I think this is a relatively simple task to do.
P.S.: If you decide on implementing it, please, post the source code here ;)
As a last suggestion, remember, ALWAYS backup :)
Regards,
Leandro de Araújo Souza
