Unsure what you are referring it with this. Can you provide more details pls?

When you merge .duf scenes by default all unused materials, render settings, and environment presets are added as well.
Especially for people who are creating comics or animations in the past this lead to countless duplicated presets that then all have to be manually deleted.
Instead of one "Default Render settings", "default HDR environment", "default daylight environment" they have xy duplicates in the pull down menus.
Maybe someone who has collected a lot of duplicates could post a screenshot?
Because of that people have asked in the past for a "Delete unused Environment presets" and "Delete unused Render settings" button.
This would work the same way as the right click option in the unused materials section "Delete unused materials".

Nevertheless it seems in the
OcDS Preferences tab there are actually
Scene Loading options:
- Don't load Render Settings
- Don't load Environments
- Don't load unused Materials
- Don't load Project Settings
Those options could in theory be used for the following
workflow to remove unwanted settings when loading scenes:
To remove unwanted duplicate Environments, Render Settings and unused Materials
- place checkmarks in the “Scene Loading” section of the OcDS Preferences.
- load the scene you want to clear
- save the scene
- remove the checkmarks

Does this workflow do the trick for those having issues?
While looking at this I came up with a question of my own:
Anyone knows which exact values are not loaded when you select "Don't load Project Settings" ?
Side Note:
In general a remaining issue might be that t_3 stealthily added a lot of features in the "last beta" that people never actually detected.
There was always the promise that the new features would be explained in follow up posts but then in some cases that never happend.
Some people may have discovered some of those features but because they were never mentioned in forum posts a lot of them are rather unknown to the vast majority of users...
