How can I clean my catalog of unnecessary or deleted files?

I have 14 of PSE, my catalogue contains lots of files moved or deleted, as well as certain types of files not supported or unnecessary. My question is, how do I clean this up in my catalog? I am planing to move my catalog a "personal cloud drive" or drive NAS on my home network so as to free up much needed space on my C drive.

Simply connect the external drive to any computer in your home with the required version of the elements, and you're ready. »

To do this, simply use the command move in PSE 14? Either move the catalog to my drive USB (and library), then remove safely from my C drive once I'm satisfied all works well.

More details:

Your project requires you to move the library and catalog safely, which suggests a backup full anyway.

It is just the first step of the recommended way to move them to a new computer.

You perform the full backup that stores all the necessary elements to restore on another computer, another drive or another master folder while keeping the links in the database catalog properly with the new destination. Let's say that you do this on an external disk or in a folder on your home network. The backup folder will be used to 'restore' on the "custom location" in the new destination folder/drive.

The backup process restores your library (image folder tree) and your catalog to the new destination folder, the USB key suggested.

When it is connected to one of your computers, you can open the organizer with the catalog by double clicking on the database, the file "catalog.pse14db" in the catalog folder.

Ditto for the second computer. Remember that the Flash DRIVE has the same drive letter in both computers.

If you have more than two computers (then you need more licenses...), this is the same process of restoring your backup catalog.

What has been published on the last connected drive is ready and available in the next connected to the computer.

Notes on the catalog files:

-you will find their location in the menu help > system information

-by default, they are in a folder 'hidden' in the Solution Explorer, you may need to set to show files and folders hidden in Windows.

-Content (links) in the catalog is not changed if you move the entire folder elsewhere but if you move your image files outside of the Organizer, the links are not updated either...

-Catalog Manager allows you to move a folder from catalog back to the default location, but if you want to move it to default to a custom location, get you Explorer.

If you just want to move your library or part of it to a new drive, you can do so from the organizer of slip and fall in the folder tree in the left panel of records. Catalogs remains in default location.
