Customer would like to have UI option to clean up unused images listed in card editor that are located in …\SolidWorks Enterprise PDM\Data\[vault]\0\Images. See KB solution S-065357 for workaround.
| SPR764189 is still opened, but Solution S-065357 is nowhere to be found in the KB, probably not open to the public anymore or whatever? |

OK, I found a thread inside the SwAmP, with the usual Tor (from SW PDM team) answering the question above:
Looks like the QA was only published to partners, not sure why. Here is the full content:
Q:
What are the steps to remove unused card images (icons) from the image drop list in the SOLIDWORKS® Enterprise PDM card editor?
A:
There is currently no user interface option to purge unused card images.As a workaround you can use the attached SQL query “ListAllUsedAndUnusedCardImages.sql” in the zip which will return a list of all unused card images found in the vault database. Then manually delete the unused images from the SysFiles database table.
Note! This should only be done by someone familiar with using the SQL Management Studio. Ensure you back up the database before making any modifications.
See details in attached PDF.
