I’m looking into developing a plugin that removes all unused content - effectively a reverse migrate on a level.
I’m first trying to see if it’s even needed since I know that UDK | CommandletList Commandlet exists.
Question though - the above documentation indicates that you can specify levels you want to test for in ‘WrangleContent.ini’ - but where does this file exist and what should it look like?
I wasn’t able to locate where this file should be placed, nor what content it should contain to list maps that we want to keep. But debugging through the C++ code I figured it out.
Unfortunately I also get the following when running the WrangleConents commandlet, and I am left only with a Wrangle.bin file and a broken CSV file (it’s not fully written):

Running it with the debugger I find that the package it cannot rename is:
PackagePath = L"../../../Engine/Content/ArtTools/RenderToTexture/Blueprints/PhysMesh.uasset"
And since this only happenes because it wants to rename to this NFS-package I tried with the flag: -nosaveunreferenced which didn’t work at first - it seems you have to make a “space” at the end of the list of arguments to have it accept it. I also found out how to write the Config/WrangleContent.ini file:
[WrangleContent.PackagesToFullyLoad]
Package=/Game/Levels/MyPersistentLevelName
When debugging through the code I learned that the CSV-files are saved as Saved/Logs/UnreferencedObjects-YYYY.MM.DD-HH.MM.SS.csv
