As the title says, there are two users on this computer and both have an iTunes library. They share the SAME Music folder and it has been working out so far.

NOW, I want to clean up my disk. There are some songs that neither user has in their library any longer. How can I automatically identify/delete any song files that are NOT in either library?

Basically, I don't want one user to delete a song that the other user has in their library :p

FIXED-

Two iTunes libraries in two user accounts share a single folder to store iTunes music files.

Go into user A
Start iTunes
Command+A to select every song in the library
Drag the songs to a folder or your desktop
Delete every song in your library

Do the same in user B

Go to the shared folder that has all of the song files
Delete every song file or Artist folder

Go into user A
Drag the songs that you put in a folder or your desktop into iTunes
Consolidate your library

Do the same in user B

Done! :D
