How can I see which photos showing in the Recent Photos have not been filed in any folder?

I have over 20,000 on Photos on the Mac and iPad shown in my recent photos. Many of these are in one or folders but many are not. I would like to be able to identify which photos are not in folders so I can put them in a folder or delete them.


any ideas? Is there a capability either in iPhoto or a 3rd party app?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

There is one problem with "Album is not Any", that you should be aware of in Photos 5 on Catalina.

You must not delete any album without removing the photos from the album, before you delete it, or "Album is not Any" will forever be showing the photos as being in an album, the deleted album.
