In my collection I have 500 pictures. In the folder that contains those pictures I have 1000. How do I get the ACTUAL folder to ONLY have the 500 that are in the collection?

In other words, I want to delete (from my computer) the 500 pictures that are in the folder that are NOT in the collection .....?

I'll try and make it clearer ... I appreciate the help!
I have a folder on my computer labeled "Wedding Photos."
I imported that into Lightroom. It had 1000 photos
Once I imported it, I made a collection called "Wedding" and put those 1000
photos into the collection.
Then, in the collection, I went through the process of marking the photos.
I marked 500 as rejected. But instead of deleting them COMPLETELY from
Lightroom AND the hard drive, I only deleted them from the LR catalog.
So, now I have a collection "Wedding" with 500 photos and a folder "Wedding
Photos" with 1000 photos.
I only want the 500 photos in the "Wedding Photos" FOLDER.
Two things ... first, if you use Lightroom to move the un-rejected photos from "Wedding Photos" to some other folder, then you have remaining in the "Wedding Photos" folder only those photos which were rejected and deleted from Lightroom, but not deleted from the hard disk.
Secondly, there is absolutely no reason to import all the photos from a folder and then create a collection with the exact same photos. This is redundant. It is extra work for no benefit. Since the folder and collection now contain exactly the same 1000 photos, you only need the folder. Anything you want to do with these photos can be done from the folder, as if the collection didn't exist (which it shouldn't in this case).
