I know you can do it file by file.
Is there any way to do this in one step for all files in a project?

There is no need for any plugins in VS 2017 or 2019. Click the bulb icon near any using statement and click Solution next to Fix all occurrences in part.
Do you mean using statements? First, note that they generally do no harm other that take space. Tools like ReSharper offer automated tricks to do this, however: there was a link in the VS feed a little while ago; it boils down to:
Now if you right-click on the toolbar and Customize... - you should be able to find MyMacros.OrganiseUsings.RemoveAndSortAll - drag this somewhere handy (maybe the Tools menu; you might also want to change the name after placing it).
You can now use this option to run the Remove and Sort command for an entire solution. A big time-saver.

Public Module OrganiseUsings

Dim sol As Solution = DTE.Solution
For i As Integer = 1 To sol.Projects.Count
Dim proj As Project = sol.Projects.Item(i)
For j As Integer = 1 To proj.ProjectItems.Count
RemoveAndSortSome(proj.ProjectItems.Item(j))
Next
Next
End Sub

If projectItem.Name.LastIndexOf(".cs") = projectItem.Name.Length - 3 Then
Dim window As Window = projectItem.Open(Constants.vsViewKindCode)
window.Activate()
projectItem.Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.RemoveAndSort")
window.Close(vsSaveChanges.vsSaveChangesYes)
End If
End If
For i As Integer = 1 To projectItem.ProjectItems.Count
RemoveAndSortSome(projectItem.ProjectItems.Item(i))
Next

There is a built-in function under the analyze menu that is called as Code Cleanup. If you click Profile 1, it'll do as remove and sortings functionality.
If you do mean 'using' Power Commands contains this functionality + a boat load more.
