TES4Gecko includes a feature called "Display/Copy Plugin Records" that does a lot more than its name would suggest.  
Recent versions of TES4Gecko include a feature called ''Clean Plugin'', which automatically removes any records from your plugin that are not actually changed from the original master.
 
It also now includes a ''Compare Plugins'' feature that can help you easily distinguish between records that have changed and those that have not.
 
In cases where you need to remove accidental changes, TES4Gecko includes a feature called "Display/Copy Plugin Records" that does a lot more than its name would suggest.  


When you load up a plugin file with TES4Gecko using the "Display/Copy Plugin Records" function, it lets you browse a tree structure of the records in a plugin. Records are grouped neatly into branches by type so you can quickly drill down to the things you want to look at by expanding the appropriate branch.

TES4Gecko automatically adjusts the record count for the plugin after you make changes this way, but it's still a good idea to open it up in the CS to check your changes.
