Show keywords with 0 images

Is it possible to clean up the keywords?

Or only show keywords with 0 images?

 

When I add a keyword to an image and I have a typo, I remove the keyword and add the correct typed one or correct the spelling directly of it.

 

But this creates duplicates.

 

For example I add the keyword "landscap" (with missing e) and then correct it to "landscape".

My keyword list then contains two keywords "landscap" and "landscape".

"landscap" has 0 images and "landscape" has 1 image.

 

In this small scale it's no problem to detect. But with over 300 keywords it gets quiet messy.

 

Any suggestion for this problem?

 

Currently I try to remember what I entered before, search for the "wrong" keyword and delete it. But this is pretty time consuming...

You can use the 'Purge Unused Keyword' command, which is the last item under the Library > Metadata menu. However, this command will delete all unassigned keywords, which may not be the best approach if you have unassigned keywords that you want to keep.
