Reindex File Names, Only - Purge Non-existent Names

Re-index File Names, Only - i.e., Purge Non-existent Names


is there a way to Reindex file names
without re-indexing file Properties (like hashes)

as in, if you end up with "dead wood" (non-existent file names),
can you get rid of them without doing a "full" Reindex (of names/Properties) ?

something that goes out & checks that names are valid (on disk files).

something like 'Size on Disk' would probably do it (showing an "empty" size),
but it would have to (inefficiently) go out & actually gather that data...

& then even after "found", you still have to do something ? to actually get
rid of the entry (like maybe ? re-creating the exact full path name, & then
deleting it ? maybe ? might work)

I will add a command to remove selected items from your index.

Thank you for the suggestion.
