Using RH8 and I'd like to delete unused files to perhaps make the project open faster. Here's what Adobe Help says to do:
Use this report (Tools > Reports > Unused Files) to view unused files in one place. You can sort by filename or file type by selecting from the Sort By menu.

Hello again
Yes, it sounds confusing at first read but it's very logical.
The unused files report is reporting files that don't appear to be referenced by your project. Because they aren't referenced by your project, you will have to use Windows Explorer to remove them.
But because you are being advised to use Windows Explorer, you might be lulled into believing that you should also use Windows Explorer to rearrange project files. These files would not be listed in the Unused Files report. So you are being admonished that if you choose to use Windows Explorer to perform other file management tasks you will break your project by doing so.
Is that clearer? Rick

Rick, I don't know that I would call it logical. I would call it bad writing.
