Code Cleanup
This page of ReSharper options allows you to manage and configure custom cleanup profiles, as well as to assign a cleanup profile for the silent code cleanup. The two default profiles (Full Cleanup, Reformat & Apply Code Style and Reformat Code) are also shown here. You cannot modify modify them, but you can clone them to make new custom profiles.
Toolbar controls
Use the following controls to configure the selected cleanup profile:
Item | Description |
---|---|
Set as default | Click this button to use the selected profile for silent cleanup. The profile used for silent cleanup is marked with the icon. |
Duplicate | Click this button to create a copy of the selected profile. If you have default settings, you will need to duplicate one of the default cleanup profiles to create a custom cleanup profile. As soon as a new profile is created, it opens in the editing mode, where you can configure the list of cleanup tasks. |
Configure | Click this button to enable the editing mode for the selected custom profile. Note that default profiles (Full Cleanup, Reformat & Apply Code Style and Reformat Code) cannot be edited. |
Rename | Click this button to rename the selected custom profile. Note that default profiles (Full Cleanup, Reformat & Apply Code Style and Reformat Code) cannot be renamed. |
Remove | Click this button to remove the selected custom profile. Note that default profiles (Full Cleanup, Reformat & Apply Code Style and Reformat Code) cannot be removed. |
Done | Click this button to exit the editing mode and go back to the preview of the selected profile. Note that your modifications will not be applied unless you click Save. |
Code cleanup tasks for selected profile
These tasks become configurable when you switch the editing mode ( Configure) for the selected custom cleanup profile. Initially, there are no custom profiles and tasks of the default profiles cannot be edited. You can click Duplicate to create an editable copy of one of the default profiles and then edit its tasks.

Remove code redundancies | On the page of ReSharper options (Alt+R,,O), in the Redundancies in Code categories for most languages, ReSharper lists over 50 redundancies that have associated code inspections. Some of them require special attention, and you cannot process them in the batch mode. That leaves Code Cleanup with about 30 redundancies that it is able to remove automatically whenever you select Remove code redundancies in your cleanup profile.
|
Use auto-property, if possible | Replaces simple properties and corresponding backing fields with auto-properties. For more information, see Using Auto-Properties. |

Usings | Includes the following configurable options:
|
Shorten qualified references | Replaces fully qualified names with short names when possible by importing namespaces, implementing settings configured on the page of ReSharper options (Alt+R,,O). |
Reformat code | Reformats your code according to the preferences that you can configure on the page of ReSharper options (Alt+R,,O). For more information, see Managing and Applying Code Formatting Rules. |

Convert string concatenations to template strings | In JavaScript code, if the target JavaScript language level is ECMAScript 6 (you can choose it on the page of ReSharper options (Alt+R,,O) ), as well as in TypeScript 1.4 or later, this option will convert string concatenations to template strings. For example:
var str1 = "Hello,";
var str2 = "Test: " + str1 + " World1";
will be converted to
const str1 = "Hello, ";
const str2 = `Test: ${str1} World1`;

The selected fixes will be applied even if the corresponding inspections are turned off on the page of ReSharper options (Alt+R,,O). Be careful when enabling too many checks at once — code cleanup runs Clang-Tidy only once for a given file, so if multiple fixes touch the same block of code, the changes might conflict with each other. |
