force deleteting materials they are in use

Hi there,

 

I would like to clean up my scene and want to force deleting some of my material even if they are in use on geometrie/switches/or MultiPasses.

 

Is there a way of showing where the matertials are in use? I would like to jump to the switch/MultiPass/etc. if I select the material itself. 

 

Thank you!

With 2023 a Material that is used in several other material containers like switches or multi-passes (sub-material) is underlined and on selection highlighted in orange. The context menu entry Select all Occurrences does select all of them and you can delete the sub-material from all the containers in one go.
