    i know of one which only gets rid of invisible layers which can be found at:

     

    http://objectmix.com/adobe-indesign/239660-how-delete-invisible-layers -inindesign-cs2-file-using-javascript.html

     

    alternatively, google the script "inwash.jsx" by vitaly batushev

     

    in terms of finding out if a linked image is CMYK, RGB, LAB etc, this can be done from the links panel itself from CS4 and up. If you can't see it at the moment, go to the panel options within the links panel and select  the following:

    this is only really useful for rasters such as tiffs, jpgs etc. it won't advise if a PDF contains RGB, CMYK etc for example.

     

    i know it's not what the OP was hoping for, but hope it helps

    This should remove empty layers:

     

    var layers = app.documents[0].layers.everyItem().getElements();
for(var i=layers.length-1;i>=0;i--){
  if(layers[i].pageItems.length==0){
    layers[i].remove();
  }
}

    Hi cdflash!,

     

    Thanks for your kind reply. Actualy i need to delete unused layer (ie. There is no link image include in that layer).

     

    I'm try to write script but i can't. I know that Color Space in Pannel option. Some time i forget saw that option.

     

    that's why i need that script.

    place a single image in an empty doc, and this will give you the color space:

     

    alert (app.documents[0].pageItems[0].images[0].space);
