Actually, I think it was talking about pages that link into the main
site, but have no links back to them from elsewhere in the site. I
believe it was considered acceptable to have a doorway page or two,
but using a lot of them just to add keywords was considered
cheating. Anyway, everything I'm saying today is turning out to be
wrong, so just ignore me.

Right - good idea! Where is the shift lever?

The Xenu and dw orphaned file route was the one I was thinking of.
I was also thinking of using the site window to delete files, and if there
was no references to any links, then the image/file would go :-)

Time consuming I guess, but I do like to keep a tidy house :-D

Thanks all, especially Ol' Proc and John for your comprehensive answers.
