Duplicate files

hi,

I downloaded and scanned my computer with Auslogics :angry: . It is free but not easy! First it found 6543 duplicate files occupying 9 MB, since I am totally new, I went through them all one by one, selected those that I wanted to delete............ It says that I need TO DELETE AN ENTIRE BLOCK. :( Of course, it is not what I want! Just one or two files in each block. So I scanned again this morning, now there are more than 7000 files occupying 1GB. Big blocks!!! It seems crazy.

I emailed them, but they didn't reply. Anyone could help me, please? I would be very grateful.

Thanks a lot.

time and motion. would i worrie about 7k files taking up 9mb of space

No. I no this is not helping your question but it's my opinion.

I have Auslogics Duplicate File Finder installed, but have never used it so I can't be a lot of help. However, if you're going after duplicate files, I would make you have the "Match Contents" box checked. I believe this is a MD5 checksum match rather than just the other options given (file name, date and time, etc.).

my problem is: this is a new computer and I injected files from several sources, can't find anything, so I have to sort out this mess. First thing is to delete duplicate, triplicate and more....

1 GB and 7,000 files is nothing for you??? :o

I don't see where you're having a problem. I just downloaded it and tried it and was able to tick individual items and delete them no problem (right click>Delete selected)

6543 duplicate files is a scarily high number though and I would suggest exercising extreme caution with what you delete (dupe file finders are as dangerous, if not more so, than reg cleaners IMO)

Edit: It finds 1559 duplicates (324Mb) on my computer - NONE of which will, or should, be deleted.
