Control sectors are always outside the map, so you won't have trouble finding them.

That's not problem, But trying to find unused Control sectors is prob, cuz I have lotsa those.
How can a control sector be unused?

easy, put control sector outside with some action and some random tag, and do nothing to inside of playable area, example, Control sector got tag 1 and action 100, and outside got few other control sectors with tags 2 and 3, inside of playable ares got tag 2 and 3 used and tag 1 isn't inside of playable area, so control sector what have tag 1 is useless.
Why would you make a control sector that isn't going to be used?

It's not that i want to do it, but if i remove some useless area from playground and forgot control sector's location, and I already done that many times so there might be many unused control sectors.
But why you need to know anyway, I just need to know is there some kind of button that will show unused control sectors.
No, there isn't.

How about unused tags button? FFF's informations sez to me that there is "next unused" button somewhere but where?

"Unused" means literally unused. When you have a control sector that tag is used by the control sector's linedef. "Next Unused" brings up the next tag number that nothing is using at all.
There is no way to automatically determine what control sectors aren't tagged into the actual stage or not. You'll have to do that manually when you delete things.

Well, if you wanted to do this easiest, you could open up the tag browser (Tools --> Tag Browser), write down the gaps in between the numbers in the sectors and delete the linedefs (or whole control sectors) that are using those numbers.
It would make that MUCH easier if, in the Tag Browser, you could see the tag # and both the linedefs and sectors using it, without having to switch between the two.
