filter option to select 'un used' [#1867760]

filter option to select 'un used' ,
this selection would make it easy to delete the unused modules after the development work is completed
the filter should list of all the modules which are not used along with delete button , to delete the contributed/custum module
the default 'un install' only disables the module and the relevant tables are deleted, and doesn't delete the module from the modules folder

This would be tricky to accomplish due to the fact that a some modules are sub modules to another, e.g., Views UI is a sub module of Views. Aside from comparing folder structures ourselves, there is no good way to determine if a module is a sub module to another. This is something I believe this feature request would have to take into account.

I would love to see a feature request made to Drupal Core that would add to a module's info data whether it's a sub module and of what module. I have another use case where this information is necessary to accomplish it's goal.
