How to permanently replace transcluded file with the content, removing the separate file?

What I’m trying to do

I have lots of old notes imported from various other tools, including TiddlyWiki etc. In many cases, there is a daily note with a link to another note representing a task. The task note is then either transcluded or just linked. But in many cases the task note has no more information, or just minimal extra information. There was no need to have a separate note for the task.

What I’d like to do is move the content of the linked or transcluded note to the daily note, and remove the separate task note.

So it would go from this:

This is the daily note with a list of tasks:
![[task note 1]]
  | Content of task note 1
![[task note 2]]
  | Content of task note 2
![[task note 3]]
  | Content of task note 3

to this:

This is the daily note with a list of tasks:
Content of task note 1
Content of task note 2
Content of task note 3

It’s the reverse of note refactoring.

Things I have tried

I have been manually copying the content over and deleting the task notes, but I’d love a way to semi-automate it.

This is not urgent, it’s just me wanting to tidy up a bit. But I’m curious if there is a way.

There is the Easy Bake plugin, but I don’t think it removes the files afterward.
