I mean are  they  wasting my RAM or video  memory ?  I usually have  dozens  of image files  there  mostly unused .  And how to clean unused ones without  searching  what each one is ?

If you have unused bitmaps in a graph then the thumbnails are loaded in Explorer with the content in the associated resources file. Those that are used in the open graph have an 'i' next to them which when you hover over it says 'Referenced by loaded data' , and those that are not used in the open graph do not have that.

If you wish, you can delete those that are not used by Ctrl+clicking on each then deleting them
