Delete files from disk that aren't in a Visual Studio project

Can anyone think of a way (perhaps using a PowerShell script or similar) where I can look for *.cs files that are on disk in the folder structure, but aren't included in a project file?

This has come about gradually over time with merging in Subversion etc. I'm looking for a way to clean up after myself, basically. :)

+1  A: 

All your .cs files will be mentioned in the project file, right? Scrape the XML, list the files and then do a search on the whole system. Works, but is inefficient.

Yeah, efficient isn't an issue here for a once-every-now-and-again script. I was wondering what that script should look like though (my scripting-fu isn't much up to date than VBScript, so I might end up with a C# app...)

Will try to whip something if I can, don't count on it though. As for an optimization that crossed my mind -- you can probably use two different threads, one to identify the files, another to delete identified files.

"Show all files" button at the top of Solution Explorer, then manually inspect?

Yeah, the whole point though really is that I want something that will do it automatically.
