OKay this is really random and not really related to moodle but you all seem to have a ton of knowledge. I took on a project where i have to update a pretty decent sized website. I was given a folder that is about 2 gigs in size i know half the material in this folder is not even being used cuz the ftp server that the site sits on no one has delete access so we can't delete anything i was wondering if anyone knew of a software that could go through and look at all the files and figure out which files are referenced on different webpages and which are not. I dont even have a clue if this even exsist. any help would be appreciated

Well there is software for 'grabbing' complete web sites. You can ask them to follow links to get all pages. So, pages that are unlinked will not be grabbed. So you'll end up with a (local copy of a) complete web site minus the rubbish.

The best known is probably wget and/or some of the graphical wrappers you can get. I can't think of a name off the top of my head but a Google search should turn up something.

Try HTTrack. I've used this a few times and it works well. (The software is free (GPL) and is available for various platforms including Windows and Linux).
