Filter out original raw files in the cloudspace without using LR Cloud Desktop?

I use LR Classic and LR mobile. I have synced everything at least as smartpreviews with Classic via collections.

But when I'm not at home I use LR mobile from phone and tablet to import raw files.

And seem to not have done a very clean job managing, cause I'm having 36GB of my cloud space used, but by my design it should just be one collection with originals that is about 16GB. 

So I would very much like to find those spread out additional original raw files that are somewhere stored in the cloud.

I can not filter by filename, since smartpreviews are named just like their original raw counterpart.
I can't use Classics download folder, because I occasionally moved stuff from their to my folder structure.

So how do I find those rogue files, why is there no filter for this?

So the answer would be "No, there is no way without using LR non-classic on a Desktop PC".

There IS a filter for this, but it's currently only available in the Lightroom Desktop app (Filter Icon>Sync Status....."Synced and Backed Up" are the Originals that are stored in the cloud, "Synced from Lightroom Classic" are the Smart Previews).

If you have access to Lightroom Cloud Desktop then it would only be a one off job to do the clean up.

For any future imports on LR Mobile, just ensure that you are within the desired Album when importing
