Can you delete all missing files in the PSE 6 catalog as a batch ?

I am looking at the catalog in PSE 6. Mind has a large number of thumbnails showing with a ?, which means that the file is missing and the catalog cannot find it.

Actually, I think almost all of those photos were moved by me from one folder on my hard drive to another, and the photo is also shown in the new location. (so ony the PSE 6 catalog thinks it is missing)

I can delete the missing files manually – several at a time, but this is time consuming.

Is it possible to tell the program to find all missing files and delete them all at one time in some manner ?

Navigate to the folder that contains the thumbnails. Then CTRL+A followed by CTRL+D.

Good question. I wonder if you can sort them so they all end up in one group? Something I’ll have to try.
