This is very easy technically. This is what I do: search for
instances of ids and classes in the html files by using Search
and Replace functions that come with any decent text editor. It
should of course have search over whole folders (that includses
all files in sub folders). If none are found, I search the css
files and delete those ids or classes or otherwise attend to the
matter. It really does not much matter if you conduct the search
over the whole website folder and some of the found references
are to css instances, you just see if there are references in
both.

If you are using php includes then of course, you will search the
includes folder as well.

Good luck.
