Search Entire Project for Image used by name or List Images

Post by LJLachance »

Not quite sure how to word this question but... on my PC, I have my project folder. Inside this folder are all of the images I have used on the various pages created. Over the years, images have come and gone and some are no longer used. What I want to do is delete those images that are no longer used in the project but still contained within the images folder.

The question is, how can I search my site project, on my PC in local folders, for either a list of all of the images actually used, or search the project for a particular image (jpg, png, webp, etc) to see if it is actually being used on a page somewhere in the project. Hoping this question makes sense.

Example: I find, in the images folder, an image named "yesterday dot jpg" ... I want to find out if that specific image is actually being used on a page somewhere in the project.

Thanks

Larry

In the Asset Manager, you can display a list of orphan files in the project folder.
Tools -> Asset Manager -> Filter -> Orphan files

How would you do this on the server side to get rid of useless files already uploaded by WYSIWYG?

The software will never remove any files from the server for security reasons. So, you will have to do this manually.
