Aliases are fantastic in Mac OS but if you're deleting an original file, there's no way to tell whether there are aliases pointing to it or not.

Aliases are fantastic in Mac OS but if you're deleting an original file, there's no way to tell whether there are aliases pointing to it or not.

Find Dud Aliases is a small AppleScript that enables you to find every alias on your hard drive whose original no longer exists.
You'll probably be surprised how many you'll find.

Completly freeware.
