Please improve the tool "Clean Audio Folder".
This tool needs lightyears to finish searching.
Many have libraries over 1000 GB of their harddrives.
So give us the possibility to exclude certain disks from the search.
 
After more than 10 years and larger harddrives, the tool needs to be improved.

As far as I'm aware it doesn't even work..

Regardless since the beginning of time this has been requested every six months or so... Not such an unusual scenario sadly.

I wouldn't dare use it. If I want to clean up the audio in a project I just save it as a new project with "copy all audio with project" checked. Voila, brand new project with no superfluous audio in the folder.

It works fine and have never had a problem with it removing stuff it shouldn't .   During a mix, I'l have a ton of interim versions of the project and when I'm finally done, I remove most of the stuff in the middle period when I was trying all kinds of stuff and keep the last few recent versions and first few early ones.    It does take a long time but it allows me to recover a ton of space before I finally archive and / or back the project  up.   I use it often
