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.

  1. There is a separate request to rename the comment or add another, to distinct two operations: Delete Hidden Layers command - Inappropriately named? — please upvote.
  2. Also, there is another request to delete unused/empty layers: Delete unused empty layers

    Is there a way to access this function in scripting?

    Please look at Photoshop and copy all usefull features, like this very obvious one.
