Hi folks. I migrated to a new system recently, and ended up not transferring a few dozen photo images from the old system, but LR still shows them in my library. I'd like to delete the records from my LR library. Anyone know a way to filter on "in library, but not on disk" so I can just delete them from my library?

I don't miss the originals and would like to clean up this part of my library without scrolling through and looking for the "?" mark in the upper right hand of the grid.

thanks in advance,
Tyler

Right click on an upper level folder of interest in the Library Left Hand Panel folder browser. Choose "Synchronize Folder....". In the resulting dialog box, (wait as the gears grind, this may take a few seconds to scan your folders, depending on the size of the folder tree), choose "Show Missing Photos". Then, after a pause for reflection, verification and sanity check, select all, press delete, and Remove from Lr.

Thanks Brad - this worked perfectly.
I found a few more missing files as well - will have a different plan on those, but I've flagged them for follow-up later. Got rid of the ones I needed to tho - muchisimas gracias
