Yes, very important when your memory budget is low

This is very important if you want to pack files or just remove images or other info that is no longer being used.

...of course it shouldn't be too easy to do this accidentally. :)

Maybe, that should be modified, actually, there is a(0)before material name...but maybe a more identified icon ?

You don't have to restart Blender, just save/reopen your file.
Zero user datablocks are not saved, so they would be freed on automatic close (before reopen) and not reloaded.

Yes, I've tried it. Save and reopen the file. But I'd prefer to do it on a click of a button.

Yes it would be nice to have a more user-friendly way of doing this rather than having to save & reload. Some kind of "recycle bin" type of thing would be good IMO.

or just a DELETE button near the material, not just Unlink

I think Ctrl+W, Enter, Ctrl*O, Enter is faster than a bin button which I have to search in the menus.

Dojo, not if you're working in a large scene with lots of geometry, with large textures in the view, that takes a long time to load up. Not to mention that you may not *want* to actually save the file at that stage.
A 'datablock trash bin' would be great, if you could use that as a general location to restore, or properly delete data from the file.

I think this idea can be generalized to: "A user should never, ever, ever, ever, ever have to save and reload to accomplish anything in Blender."

It is similar in Inkscape, they call it: VacuumDef.

I am in favour of this.
I ask the coders now: is it easy to implement ?
And where should we put this function ? It doesn't belong in a particular panel, so it should appear in the file menu i guess, in the "append, import/export" section. I'd name it "flush unlinked datablocks"
What do you think ?

This isnt hard to add - but it would probably need to free all Undo's from memory.
