tintinturbo5800 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Well after duplicate finder is done searching it would make at 100% faster if there was a option so u with "1 click" can selec all exept 1 duplicate so u after just need to press "delete and then its done. Instead of i have to CLICK EVERY SINGLE ONE!! took me almost 20 min to do that :S Hope u change that simple thing otherwise keep doing ur great job with this program bcuz it Works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators nukecad Posted October 4, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 4, 2016 Sounds dangerous to me. 100% faster to delete the duplicate file from which location? Usually programmes that make you go slowly are written like that for a reason - to make you think what you are/may be doing before you make a mistake. (And in this case delete the wrong copy). *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

hokulea96 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 ???? Why does my version of Cleaner not have duplicate finder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted October 7, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 7, 2016 what is your version of CCleaner that does not have duplicate file finder? it should be found in Tools, Duplicate Finder. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

AndrewDT Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 A few questions about the Duplicate Finder tool: How can I determine which duplicate file is the right one to keep? Some files identified as "duplicate" have a different file name. What does that mean? Are there cases in which I need both, or more, copies of a file? If so, how do I know? TIA.

Moderators mta Posted November 19, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 19, 2016 How can I determine which duplicate file is the right one to keep? That is the reason there is no 1-click 'do it for me' button. The program can only identify the duplicates, it's completely up to you to determine which (if any) of them really are duplicates. That way there is only the user to blame... As to the results having files with different names, what options were ticked in the Match By field?

Moderators mta Posted November 20, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 20, 2016 sadly, it is what it is. no one, or program, should automatically pick the duplicates based on some internal logic. only you know which of those five holiday snaps of the same name/size/date are copies and which is the master.
