Is there a way to delete uncited paper from the Zotero library?

mmcindy33
I have been collecting articles for my research paper and compiled a bibliography. However, I'm sure there are articles that I didn't end up using that's still in the library.
Is there a way I can detect which ones I have cited and which one I have not in the Zotero library on my computer?
Thanks!

    That's not possible, sorry. You can see items that aren't in any collections in the Unfiled Items view, though.

    No -- but I also don't quite understand why that'd be necessary. Even if an item isn't cited in your particular paper, if you thought it was interesting, why not keep it in Zotero?

    Initially the reason was so I can save some space online. I had over 250 sources but only cited 170. Now I realized I can sync my online library elsewhere. But thanks guys!

    Just so you know, Item data (about the title, authors, etc.) doesn’t take up any storage space—only the attachment files (PDFs, etc.) take up storage space.
