Want to delete the junk files from a directory which are not listed in a TEXT file

Hello Everyone,

I want to delete the image files from a directory, which are not listed in a TEXT file.

The directory contains large number of image files (in millions) required / not required. I want to delete the image files which are "not required".

I have generated a Text file having only the required files by querying the database. I have also tried to create a list of files from the directory where the large number of files are present but it is taking time.

Is there any way to delete the junk files from a directory, which are not listed in an input TEXT file?

Please advice.

Thanks in advance.

Praveen
