Why we like it

Action Cleaner Pro earns its place in the superhive library as a focused cleanup utility. Rather than a broad animation toolkit, it targets empty and unused actions specifically, pairs deletion with Fake User protection and a scan summary, and keeps everything offline. A demo video is available.

What is Action Cleaner Pro - One-Click Empty Action Remover?

Action Cleaner Pro is a Blender add-on from RealDevCode that removes empty and unused actions from your projects. Large Blender projects often accumulate unused and empty actions that clutter files and slow workflows, and this utility clears them through a fast one-click cleanup workflow.

Before deleting anything, the add-on shows a scan summary with the total number of empty, deletable, and protected actions. Fake User protection keeps important actions safe from accidental deletion, so you can clean animation data without losing work you meant to keep. An F5 shortcut gives quick access to the cleanup tools, and the add-on is lightweight, optimized, and built with a beginner-friendly interface.

It runs entirely offline with no data collection, tracking, or internet access. Compatible with Blender 4.2 and newer, it works with the Cycles and Eevee render engines under a GPL license. Built for animators, game developers, riggers, and production workflows, it helps organize animation data and reduce unnecessary file clutter.

Once enabled, the add-on adds its cleanup tools to your workflow, including an F5 shortcut for fast access.

Does Action Cleaner Pro protect important actions from deletion?

Action Cleaner Pro includes Fake User protection, which guards important actions from accidental deletion during cleanup. Before removing anything, the add-on provides a scan summary showing the total number of empty, deletable, and protected actions, so you can see what will be affected. Actions marked with a Fake User stay protected while empty and unused ones are cleared. This gives you a safer way to clean animation data without losing work you meant to keep.

Does Action Cleaner Pro collect any data or need internet access?

Action Cleaner Pro runs entirely offline. It collects no data, includes no tracking, and requires no internet access, so your project stays on your own machine. The add-on is described as lightweight and optimized, with a fast one-click cleanup workflow. For animators and studios concerned about privacy on production scenes, the fully offline design means nothing leaves your system while you clean and organize animation data.

Licensing and any promotional offers can change over time, so for the current terms and the most up-to-date details, check the developer's page directly. The add-on is distributed under the GPL license.
