Comparing two folders and performing delete

I have two different folders (each on a different drive) with lots of zip files in each (no sub folders).
Folder A is a subset of the files in Folder B.
I need to delete all the file names in Folder B that are not in Folder A, BUT I can't just sync A to B because the files in the two folders are different even though they have the same names.
Is this possible with my paid version of XYplorer?

Activate Dual Pane mode (by default F10)
Open Folder A in one pane and Folder B in the other
Menu - Panes - Sync Select...
Choose "Select Uniques"
and if folder B is not the one in the active pane
take [x] On both panes
as well
