Fwd: Question about Images

[Mr & Mrs Hopkins]

I am sorry I keep hitting reply instead of the user list.

I am still looking for anyone who can help me with making a report for images used in a collection so I can find out 
which images I can delete.
I tried doing it manually but it was too difficult because of the number of images.

Thank you.  Sorry for my confusion.

Okay that makes sense now, but I seem to also have really old images with partial randomized names.
I also found images for movies I no longer have any more, as well as some images from Internet adds which I thought were 
the movie, but were not so I deleted them.

Is there a way I can write a report where I can find images that are not used in this directory?
