Answer 1

If you have never shot in RAW only, then there is no JPEG file with the same name as the RAW file, which is a sure sign that RAW needs to be deleted, and it cannot be that the original pair of JPEG and RAW is scattered around different folders, the easiest way is to write a batch file (by the way, you didn’t specify the OS in the tags, but it looks like it’s Windows), which will bypass all folders recursively, iterate over all *.cr2, check the existence condition in the same folder of the file with the same name, but .jpg, and if the condition is not true, delete .cr2.
