How to audit media files in use

Hi, I’m trying to clean up my media folder by deleting files that I don’t use (authors tend to dump folders full of images that they end up not using).

When in the Info section of a specific Media file there is a section called References.

Sometimes this will reference the use of an image on a page and the status will change to Used in Documents with a reference and link to the page it is being used in.

However this does not appear to be accurate as I have many images being used on pages and the References section reads ‘This Media item has no references’

So, my question: how can I get an accurate read on the use of media files and images within my website?
