You got a number of Photoshop Files (.psd) on your drive which you want to sort out, as some of these files are unwanted & they are clogging space on your drive. It is a cumbersome task but still you can follow these two techniques -
1. Open each file in Photoshop & check whether it is needed or not.
2. Delete the files according to the file names.
Opening & examining each & every file in Photoshop will require lot of time & if you don’t have enough system resources, it is not worth it. Sometimes it may be possible that the filenames are not descriptive enough so that they can be deleted directly. So, what to do…..!
Here is much better way of doing this, there is a free utility called Thumbview which enables thumbnail view of image file types that are not natively supported in Windows Explorer. It supports around 19 image types in Windows Explorer. Along with .psd format other formats that are supported are .cut, .dcx, .dds, .mdl, .mng, .pcd, .pcx, .pic, .pix etc.
After installing you will get a thumbnail preview of your .psd files in the explorer & you can directly delete the file that is not needed. Isn’t that easy…?

Great program worked fine!!
Brilliant program… If only it supported .AI files my life would be complete. Still 10 out of 10.
OMG! I am a Newbee this was driving me nuts.
5 Stars
Thank you!
a great tip, I already have it though and it had saved me time as I needed it for my RAW files. Do you now if there is an exact thumbnail viewer for Illustrator ai files ?
I does mess up all with tiff images, can I desacticate tiff support????
This post made me subscribe to you RSS feed, but now I need this for vector files like eps and ai. As far I know it doesn’t exist yet because Adobe stopped developing the function when the CS versions came out.
wonderful. I had to sort threw more than 10,000 psd images, after the first hundred or so, i got sick of opening them in PS, So i did a google search and downloaded thumbview. Worked excellent. great advice, no install issues, just close and open window again and there u have it.
thanks for the saved time.
