Detection of unused or empty metrics in PBI

Hello everyone, 

I was wondering if there was a way to detect unused or empty metrics in PBI or a program that detects those that are unused or empty. I have to clean up the metrics but there are too many and it will take too long. Thanks a lot

Hello, thank you very much for your answer. I was wondering if this program detects metrics that are related to each other and metrics that are not referenced in objects?
