Upgrade Storagesnapshots accumulating - how to delete efficiently ?
I had left "automatically take snapshots from webpages" on, and now I have over 400 snapshots; and as nowadays for openaccess, these snapshots can represent whole articles, some of them are quite big. When searching for *.html in zotero/storage I have >500Mb of snapshots. And actually I don't need them.
Is it save to just delete all *.hmtl files in the storage folders ? But this leaves all of the Zotero items in place, just that the reference to the file will be broken.
Can I mass delete them from within Zotero ?
Or is there a way to clear the database of items which have lost their link ?

(I have cleared out my named Snapshots recently using a range of techniques so I can't easily test each approach again to be sure they all work)
* From the other thread, I see you have a linked files scheme - so you could alternatively move all html Snapshots (selected as above) to your linked-files folder using Zotmoov's right-click Move Selected to Directory (add html to its Allowed File Extensions list). Allow Zotero to rename them at the same time, so that they get a sensible name, the same as their item's other attachment files (to ensure that, in Zotero's Config Editor look for extensions.zotero.autoRenameFiles.fileTypes and append to it the string: text/html).
