Checking field references in visualforce pages or apex class.

I wanted to check where some of the fields from a custom object are being referenced in either a Visualforce page or an apex class.Is there a way to check this?

Try deleting the field from UI(manually and if it has any references in Apex classes or visualforce pages it will list all of them. Dont worry if no reference found and the field got deleted... you can always restore the field and the data in it.

For checking the field references in vf pages or apex pages u can search in eclipse in the respective folders with the field name.Apart from trying to delete this was the only way I could find.
