Okay, here it is folks, a candidate for the odd-ball question of the week:

Lets say I deleted a "prop" or a "figure" from the Poser file folder, because I never really used it. Is there a program (beyond just searching) that can find the corresponding obj files and texture files?

Not if it's truly and completely deleted.  (i.e. not just 'recycled').

Searching through the Geometries and Textures is the only

recourse.  If you don't remember any of the associated folders

or names, you might use P3DO to help, by quickly displaying

what the OBJ files really look like!

I have a utility that finds all files from a pp2 or cr2 file. Correct CR will also show those files I think.

or you can open the pp2 file, get the associated files , and then delete all of them .

I would be careful about texture files unless you know they are specific to an item.

To qualify what has already been said:

• It's better to remove the geometry and texture files before deleting the library file - as the only reference to the geometry and texture files is in the library file.

• Many content creators reuse textures for more than one 'product' - so blindly deleting the texture files may break textures on related, still existing content.

There are two ways Poser could have gone to correlate library files and referenced files - the current one and one where they are kept together.  Personally, there are disadvantages to both approaches (duplicate referenced files for the latter, for instance).  What would be nice is if the developers would grow some 'male bodyparts' and use the vast, vast amount of available code and libraries to add some database management for Poser library content.  For instance, when you go to delete a figure from the library, it gets the referenced files and asks you if you want to remove them as well - possibly even, heaven forbid, verifying that there are no more references to the content.  Boy, that might take them an entire week or two to program... ;)

P3dO pro scene manager does just this. After P3dO has scanned a file all files belonging to that figure, prop, PZ3,... are listed in a window (see attached Screenshot).

The Scene Manager (InDepth Window) graphically list all files belonging to Kate. You just have to select them and press "Del" in order to delete them. But you also have the ability to zip a scene this way, edit the files,  rename them. All you could do from an Explorer.
