Mass remove orphan references?

I wanted to move all of my Daz content to my largest hard drive. I uninstalled, then re-installed Daz Studio on the largest hard drive.
I made a folder for DAZ install manager to install to. Then installed all of my content.
However, all of the content in smart content showed up as "missing". I messed around with file paths, and got some to show up. Now however I still have a ton of "missing" "orphan" files.
Going into the content library, clicking on all of the categories and removing the orphan references one by one is very tedious. Is there a way to select all orphaned references and delete at once.

Hi, did you get any feedback from Daz ?
I have found a way that helps a bit, but still requires going through each category and subcategory - chosing a category, then in the list, change the visualisation to list and the number of items shown in the list to a very big number. If then you click on an item, and do ctrl+a (the standard Windows shortcut), it will select all, and then you right click and remove the orphaned references. Unfortunately, you have to go through all the categories and subcategories one by one.
And it seems even doing that does not take care of everything, in my case I have lot of "ghost products" in the "Lost and found", and each product creates its own category, so, it is needed to do it by end.
It would be indeed good if there was a way to just tell the software to select all the orphaned ones and remove them (or a fuction, or some indication of the command to do it at the DB)
