Simple feature that sorely needed. Please let me know of there is a way to sort all red files.
Reason: When there are tracks I want to get rid of forever, I like to delete them from my main OS (NOT inside Engine). This is so they don’t re-appear.
Once done, the files appear as RED inside Engine. Perfect. Now I want to delete them from Engine but I have to do this one by one because I can’t sort them! This is literally double work.
What’s my work around?

Scrolling down your collection to pick them out and delete unfortunately.
I agree it is needed, and i think there is an open request for you to vote on that covers the requirement.

You can remove then using engine by navigating by drive (not main) collection - select, right click and remove from drive. This will both remove from collection and delete the file
