Supprimer les fichiers Raw non utilisés

Bonjour,

 

Lorsque je trie mes photos dans lightroom classic, je supprime les photos "de lightroom" et non pas "du disque". Résultat : j'ai beaucoup de fichiers qui encombrent mon ordinateur et j'aimerais supprimer les fichiers raw que je n'ai pas utilisé / traités dans Lightroom. En revanche je souhaite garder les fichiers Raw que j'ai utilisé pour faire de la retouche. Bref, dans un dossier, comment savoir quels fichiers sont réélements utilisés dans lightroom comme base de travail et quels sont ceux qui ne sont pas utilisés ? Je suis sur Windows 11. Merci d'avance à vous !

"I delete the photos "from lightroom" and not "from disk". Result: I have a lot of files cluttering up my computer and I would like to delete the raw files that I have not used/processed in Lightroom."

One method that seems unusual is this-

Import files from your Hard drive, including all those unwanted photos. (Maybe a folder at a time)

(Use Embedded or Minimal previews to speed up the import process.)

Immediately after the import goto the 'Previous Import' list in the Library catalog panel-  These will be the files that you did not have in the catalog previously.

Now you can select photos in the 'Previous Import' list to permanently Delete from Disk.

Be aware- Another Import process will refresh and change the 'Previous Import' list.

You could Keyword (eg. "To Delete" ) ALL photos that appear in 'Previous Import'  list and search the keyword later to selectively Delete from Disk.

Import all images in that folder (synchronize folder) and make sure that you have enabled the 'Do not import suspected duplicates'. That will only import the images that are not currently in the catalog. Then go to the 'Previous Import' collection. That will show those images. Select them all and remove them from Lightroom again, and this time also from disk.
