How to find unused libraries in vb.net project

Question

I'm new to VB. I've assigned to the project is to be clean by removing unused references and unused libraries. As I'm new to this project I don't understand how the code written by previous developers. I understand that I can find unused references using Visual studio. For getting Unused libraries I don't see any option in Visual studio. I did research on the internet and I don't find any useful information regarding unused Libraries in the project. Can anyone help on in this.

Thanks in advance.
