Also, if you want to look for "easy" images to delete (ie images that aren't being used elsewhere), use this "Bad Old Ones" script written by Magnus Manske:

(you can change the category in the URL)
ok it is slow to load at first... but then it will tell you in one glance whether an image is being used or not. so you can skip the ones that ARE being used and do the easy ones first. :)
Unfortunately the toolserver appears to be up the creek again...
Yeah the Commons DB is mega-corrupt :( Missing all but the last couple of weeks' entries that correspond to category membership. So all the toolserver tools will give faulty results until this is fixed.
It's not like categories are the backbone of Commons, or anything... :o here's hoping it gets fixed soon.
