XF 2.2 What knows phpStorm?

[Robert9]

At the moment I watch a file

namespace XR\PM\Searcher;

use XF\Mvc\Entity\Entity;
use XF\Mvc\Entity\Finder;
use XF\Mvc\Entity\Manager;
use XF\Searcher\AbstractSearcher;

phpStorm says that

use XF\Mvc\Entity\Entity;
use XF\Mvc\Entity\Finder;
use XF\Mvc\Entity\Manager;

are not used.

Can I trust the software and delete that?
Why the coder has not done?

It is not about changing files of others, but to know about this.
Sometimes, when i extend a class, i have to add some things to use, sometimes not.
I try to understand why, when, what ...

if PhpStorm highlights imports, it means they were added, but are not used in the code for some reason. They can be safely removed

It seems to me that functions used in templates only are not shown as used.

You're right and if those templates need attributes/functions on those includes, then they might fail. Keep an eye on them.
