Actually, to purge orphans datablock you need go to Outliner, enable Orphan mode and press Purge button (that sometimes is out of the view because the window is too narrow).
To have this option hidden make very difficult to users use and understand what means orphan data, so this patch just adds a new Clean Up menu to File menu with this option. This menu could be used in the future for more clean up options. To have a general Clean Up menu is common used in other softwares.
Here an example video (the outlines is displayed only to see the effect of the operator, but is not required):
