Deleting Duplictate Dimensions In REVIT (In a similar way to OVERKILL command in AUTOCAD)

I'm in Revit 2021 working on a cloud shared model and there are several overlapping dimensions in the project. Is there anyway to delete only 1 set of dimensions/the duplicate dimensions that overlap versus deleting all dimensions in the project? I did some research and it sounds like the OVERKILL command for AUTOCAD would work great for Revit, I just wanted to check if there is anything similar to it for Revit. 

Thanks

Deleting duplicates is a manual process in Revit.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

I don't believe you can delete a dimension or text style if the style is in use. I usually place a dim/text, using the style I want to delete, and use the Select All Instance > In Entire Project tool to find all of them. Then change there style to something appropriate or delete them.

 

After that, a simple Purge Unused should get them.  I usually select Check None and then hand pick the ones i want to remove.
