Howto remove RAW files which do not have a .jpg paired

I've manually deleted 165 jpg files from an event but now the corresponding and imported RAW file still exist in the same folder.

Is there an easy way to select and delete the RAW files which do not have a paired jpg file?

For example, in the folder exist:

file001.jpg

file001.raw

file002.raw

file003.jpg

file003.raw

How can I select and remove only file002.raw other then manually?

Thanks

    Manually and carefully.

    I have done this (albeit on a Mac if that helps) using a great tool called Find File, and then gone back into LR and edited the appropriate catalogue thumbnail.

    The Mac "search" tool didn't/doesn't work well for me.

    My Syncomatic plugin would do it entirely within LR. One might select all the JPEGs and mark them yellow, then run Syncomatic to copy the label to corresponding raw files, and delete the non-yellow raws. You can run it in trial mode for 10 images at a time, but I wouldn't suggest it for a one-time job.
