How to Remove Unused Modules in Drupal 8
One of the important aspects of keeping your Drupal 8 site up-to-date, secure and performing well is to remove unused modules.
There are a number of reasons why you would want to do this:
Security - Every module should be kept up-to-date. If you're not using a particular feature, you're just giving yourself more work to do.
Performance - Drupal is an event-based CMS so at every point in the page-build process, Drupal is checking to see if any module on your site wants to do something. All of this adds up!
Site clutter - The "Extend" menu is long enough! Not to mention any configuration menu items that a module might add.
Fluff - Some modules just don't belong - Some development modules such as Devel should never be on a production server. It's always best to remove those completely.
