how to see what webmaps and apps are using an item (is it safe to delete?)

How can we see where an item is being used, in ArcGIS Online? We have a dataset we want to delete, an old copy of roads as a hosted feature layer. What webmaps and apps is it being used in?  I suggested a similar idea for SDE several years ago. I am now wondering the same thing but for AGOL hosted feature layers. Is there a Notebook or tool? In the long run I would suggest adding a button right on the Item Details page to show a report. I'll create an Idea if none exists. Thanks!

There's a free tool in the marketplace called Admin Tools that might help you out. It offers a lot of different functionality, but one of the things it does is allow you to view all of an items dependencies. You can select an item (like a webmap) and see all the items it uses (like layers) and all the items that use it (like webmaps).
