   I have a client who never sorted her uploads into month & year folders, so now there are over 13,000 images in her uploads folder. Many are orphaned files (some are from regenerating thumbnails at different sizes, some are from a gallery that no longer exists, etc). I would like to delete some of these files.

   I tried the upload janitor plugin but it times out because there are so many in the directory.

   Can anyone recommend a way to do this? Thanks!

   Make a backup of your uploads folder before installing and activating http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/upload-janitor/

   I stated that the upload janitor plugin does not work because it times out. Any other ideas?
