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 🥲

There is at least one other of the same type of request… I thought I had seen more.

Here is another request for this problem.

> 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…
