After years of adding and deleting songs & albums to and from iTunes, I finally decided it was time to really set things straight. I reorganized via iTunes, adjusted genre, album names, etc to all those downloaded songs from decades past. But now I am seeing a problem. Many songs/albums have to be relocated and I know some have been deleted from my music folder directly, instead of through iTunes. Is there a quick way to see which songs are still on my computer without having to scroll through each one?

There are third party solutions but if you aren't bothered about playcounts then just select everything, delete it from the library (not the disk!) and then re-added everything. This will rebuild the library index.
