I've run the cleaner successfully but now i'm having trouble with the duplicate finder.
when i point it at the whole c drive it finds loads of dupes - a scary amount that i'm not convinced of.
when i run it and only point it at one folder where i know there are dupes, it finishes instantly, as if it hasn't even looked, and finds nothing.
Can confirm.I'm running dupe finder on (3) drives. All searches involving any directory but the main return nothing and are instant. I started with nothing but (3) subdirectories and the search returned nothing. I ran (3) searches after that. Each one was for a whole drive and (1) subdirectory on each of the remaining ones. Each time it returned dupes on only the top directory level search.
If anybody needs a workaround, you can still search a whole drive and make a list of exclusions.
