    Unnecessary REferences

    Visual Studio automatically adds a bunch of references for new projects
    (e.g., System.Data, System.Xml, etc).

    Is there any benefit from removing those references in projects where I use
    none of the types form those assemblies?

    Is there any "harm" in leaving those in??? does my assembly get bloated in
    any way (even metadata)?

    Thanks!

    There's no harm leaving them in. They're only used at compile time.
