Clean up resource direcotry

[tc12357]

How to clean up the attachment in resource directory after a note has been deleted or the attachment has been updated to more current version?

I read through several similar post in this forum but they don't provide any solution.

I tried tools > note attachments but it only shows what is linked. It doesn't show what is not linked. I can't even export the list of attachments. If I can do an export for the list, at least I can do a file comparison to clean up the unlinked files.

Cleaning up attachment is such a simple function which everyone is needed. I guess there must be a easy way to do this.

Any help is appreciated.

I am using current version of Joplin and sync with dropbox.
