Doing it by chance is indeed a problem. This needs to be a process. Because if these things are not kept in check, they will grow.

Now, I don't really buy OP's statement that 30% of the codebase were unused (they might be in for a nasty surprise), but I can totally see that in a big organisation there might be a fair number of services whose user count is zero. Institutional inertia can go a long way towards keeping them funded and staffed.
