Default Deleting unused files, is there a more efficient way than clicking "Yes" 300 times?

This is likely discussed somewhere here, but given the variety of terms used to describe the issue, I haven't been able to find a definitive thread / answer so far.

See attachment.

I am cutting fat from my sessions / audio file folders. I select all unused files and then have this ENDLESS process of having to click a yes or no for EVERY file that is being deleted, which can take AGES.

Surely there is a "yes for all" option somewhere?

Is there any way to go through this process with one option selected for all instead of having to click through 300 times?

OR can you tell PT to ONLY select the unused regions that do NOT have clips remaining in the session so you can at least hit "yes" continuously for a few minutes?

It's infuriating that all you want to do is select the files that are not used, but PT doesn't just select those but also selects files that have clips used in the session, so you have to click "yes" sometimes and "no" other times - for hundreds of clips this is a needlessly arduous process.

Hold the option key and click yes.
