What is the fastest way to delete materials that aren't used?

Thanks in advance.

you dont need to...if they arent used then they arent saved....the only place they could ever exist after a save is if they are visible in the material editor, in which case you can just make a standard material and drag them into the preview window of the ones you want to remove.

The boxes in the material editor tell you which ones you are using by having little grey triangles in the preview corners, if theyre white then you have selected the object its applied to.

Now that you mention it, I just remembered hearing this in 3DBuzz's video tutorial :)
