How do you stop Blender from looking for an image texture? I have an image texture I'm not using anymore, but Blender keeps the filepath and keeps showing errors, saying it can't find the texture.
if the textuures are really not used, you can find them in the outliner &gt; orphan data

they are &quot;orphan&quot; because they have no object or anything that uses them (quite an amazing naming scheme hahaha)
Then you will find a &quot;purge&quot; button,
this will &quot;purge&quot; or remove all the orphans (sounds wrong I know)

Then, all of the unused materials will be removed from the blend.file
or you can do this to, go to file &gt; clean up &gt; and remove all unused data blocks
