Have deleted many old DW files on desktop folder. How to remove on remote?

Question

I've gone through many old folders and images in my website folder on my desktop and deleted dozens of images and folders that I no longer use or need.

Yet when I just logged onto my website via Dreamweaver, I still see them all there.

What I want to do is just pull in to Dreamweaver only what is presently on and what ones sees on my site now.

How do I do this? How do I make sure all the peripheral, outdated info gets taken off, but I keep only what I really need and what is on the website presently (and is presently on my desktop in various folders?)

Thanks.

Make sure you have reliable backups just in case.

OPTION 1: Delete all files from the remote server and then upload files from your local site folder. Do this with your Files panel Expanded so you can compare the contents side-by-side. See screenshot.

OPTION 2: Use a 3rd party tool like OrFind (Orphan Finder) 5 to spider your remote site and delete unused files. OrFind by Inspyder - Detect & Remove Unlinked Web Pages | Inspyder
