After some time using the QC I think there will eventually be a time where you need to clean up your folders of your unused captures. It could be useful to know which capture is currently assigned to a preset so you don’t delete it by mistake and break your preset. This, of course, only applies to downloaded captures that can be deleted. It could be a simple icon or other visual indicator next to the captures in the “Directory” section of the Cortex Control App and on the QC itself. ---

Great idea! I recently hit my max 2048 captures after buying a few more 3rd party capture packs. I was forced to delete a bunch and I had to guess which ones were not used. Well, I guessed incorrectly and broke a bunch of my presets ☹ On a related note, is there any way to fix a preset if you accidentally delete the included capture(s)? Would I need to delete the preset entirely then redownload again from Corex Cloud? Is there a simpler method? ---

…or even a warning when deleting a used capture ---

Same or similar feature has already been requested: > [@Highlight unused captures on QC](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/highlight-unused-captures-on-qc/5988): > > Highlight unused captures on the QC so users can more easily clean things up > [@New Filter for Captures that are not in use](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/new-filter-for-captures-that-are-not-in-use/12527): > > I downloaded a lot of presets that included captures. Presets that I didn’t like have now been deleted from the device. However, the associated captures are still available. To clear things up here, I would like to have a new filter in the captures, so that only captures that are NOT used in any preset are displayed. This way I can be sure that I don’t accidentally delete a capture that is still being used somewhere. Basically, a corresponding filter for impulses would also be useful to clea… > [@See if Capture is in use in any Preset](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/see-if-capture-is-in-use-in-any-preset/12817): > > The title says almost everything. I have many Guitar Presets on my Cortex from the past for testing. That´s why I have abouut 400 captures in my folder. It would be great if there was an option in Cortex Control to see if a capture is in any preset or is not used anymore. Too much captures smiling_face_with_tear ---
