Any quick way to delete unused media?
I am trying to port a client into shopsite. They have 16k images, by are only using 1600. Is there any way to detect which images are archived/unused/unattached? And then to quickly remove them from the media folder? WordPress has that feature in the media library but I don't see one here.

There isn't a function built into ShopSite that will do that. Images may be included on a page or product by using the html for the image url in a text field which ShopSite wouldn't know about. There are also other places where images might be used such as the store logo, buttons for shopping cart, registration, etc. screens that may be in the media directory but which are not used by products or pages directly.
So we don't keep track of whether an image is used or not.
