clean up complete MAME romset in launchbox

I have been using a MAME  ROMSET  0.195 a few days ago . 
With much patience, after importing the romset into Launchbox, I deleted all the games that I thought were not necessary to keep .
So I went from about 2800 games to about 1400 games .
The question is : 
Would it be possible now to extract only the roms and romset related to these roms for the proper functioning (including the BIOS) to create a new clean romset and much lighter than 58 Gb?
In other words, erase all the connected roms and romset of the one I did not select ?

ThankYou

No, this is not possible to do unless someone writes a plugin for it. This was something I asked for recently and Jason put it on the last poll but it received very few votes (362). Hopefully someone can make a plugin to do this, this would be tricky to do with a split or merged set however because of the fact that bios files are not listed in the xml files.

I am still accepting input on the "No Filler Version 2" batch files I will be creating when Mame 200 and it's rom set releases in a few months time. If you want to post any thoughts on that feel free to do so.
