There is a command in the Layers panel’s menu, called Delete Hidden Layers...
Unfortunately, it deletes not only hidden layers, but also all hidden content.
There is a separate request to rename the comment or add another, to distinct two operations:

Please vote.
Also, there is another request to delete unused/empty layers:

Is there a way to access this function in scripting?
