no-unused-vars: remove unused imports

[fab1an]

It would be awesome if eslint could automatically --fix unused es6 imports instead of reporting them as unused variables.

Is this feasible?

Thank you!

Thank you for this issue.

But I don't think it's feasible.
ESLint cannot distinguish whether people will use the unused variables after the autofix.

This would also prevent the imported files from getting evaluated, which will cause code to break if the modules have side-effects.

Thanks for the issue!
Looks like the team doesn't feel in favor of autofixing no-unused-vars, so I'm gonna go ahead and close this.
