There used to be an option in "Rescan Files" to remove dead files, but it seems that's gone now.

Is there a different way to do it other than manually?

I think it should happen automatically now.  The only exceptions would be if they're in a playlist or if the drive they are on has been removed.  I think.

I moved files from one drive to the other. Anyway to get around it?

File > Library > Remap Music Folders

Or, if you've already imported from the new location, just sort by Path so you can get them all together for quick deleting.
