Cleaning up unused files/images? -...

I've searched this one but haven't come up with anything (probably haven't searched the correct term).

It seems that every image I've tested or used on a site I'm building stays in the folder in the background. Is there an easy way to have a clean up? It's incredibly tedious to do it manualy if a lot of them look much the same.

Thanks in advance.

I've noticed this to. The latest version of VSD is suppose to keep this under control but I got my sites up and running using the beta version. I was able to reduce some of the baggage by saving the site under a new name.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

If you go into the Remove files list of a site, simply select all and delete. Then open each page one by one. When all pages are open, hit Save. All you images will be placed in the folder they belong in and the excess baggage will be gone. However this sometimes deletes the download files so you need to go back and re-link any .pdf documents, word docs, etc.
As Eric mentioned saving the site to a different folder will cause the same event to happen.
