Saving SOME Media in Bins, but Removing others?

OK, can I save some of the bins which have Media not yet USED, whilst cleaning out from the Project others?

Is this clear enough?

Instead of clicking the Remove All Unused Media From Project button, go into the bin you want to clean out and select just the files you want to remove. Then, right-click one of the selected files and choose Remove From Project from the context menu. If I understand you correctly, that does what you want and only cleans out the selected files. Do this in Details view so you can easily see the files with a 0 use count. It's not quite as automatic as just hitting the remove all button, but I think it does what you're after.

There’s a Remove All Unused Media button? Where is it? What does it look like. I really could have used it in several of my recent projects. 😩

Gary, yes I got that. I'm wanting to save some ZERO used Counts and remove others.

Is there away I can ADD a Mark/Check to Media and then use the Boolean Search to search on that mark?

Lightning Bolt? I went and looked and wondered what lightning bolt.

But then I tried placing the mouse pointer over each and every one of the buttons and read what they do from the pop-up help, and I found the correct button. It is the leftmost one and looks like a list with a red x at the bottom.

Anyway, thanks, as I really had no idea this option existed.
