how to delete orphaned files on itunes?

hello,
from time to time i synchronize my itunes library with a second computer. after those changes, there are quite a lot of those orphaned files with an '!'sign in itunes. how can i delete them all together from the library. i can go one by one, but it takes so much time.
thanks for help

cant find the link, but have the same problem with '!' noted songs I want to delete (2K of them!). Any quick way to delete them without going one by one?

I'm not sure why the above link wouldn't work for you. It just worked fine for me. Here's the full link:

This is the only way I know to do it without deleting one by one.
