Removing all IPA files not in iTunes?

blizeH · Dec 17, 2012, 06:30 PM

Hi,

I have 588 IPA files on my machine, but only 476 IPA files actually in my Applications section of iTunes

Is there anyway I can remove all of the files that aren't in applications, without having to manually check each one? ;_;

Thanks!

You could move your iTunes library. Whatever's left behind wasn't in it.

Thank you, that's a really good idea, but my Apps are stored away from my music, podcasts and other media for some reason (different hard drives too)

Ick. If you have enough space on one drive, consolidate the library to a new common location.

Thanks, pardon my ignorance but how do I do that? I can change my main media library but my apps just by default download into a set location that I can't seem to be able to change
