Moderators mta Posted November 23, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 23, 2017 can't be done, has to be a manual process, my theory is, that way, if things go pear-shaped, there is only one person to blame.

Moderators mta Posted November 23, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 23, 2017 @Philip56901, can you explain why? that's where some of the OP's dups are located and how does that answer his question? although I don't know why C:\ and F:\ are being compared, looks like F:\ could be external and maybe a backup location. but who knows.

Guest Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 @mta Sorry, let me change my instructions, I had them wrong. When he runs the duplicate finder, he should right click on a file that he wants to remove from that specific location; it will bring up an option to select the duplicates on the same file path. He can then select the file patch closest to selecting all of the ones he wants and voila, satisfaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted November 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2017 ok, cool, that may help, but it still scares the crap out of me, auto selecting like that and 'trusting' a utility that is about to wizz through and delete files. but each to his own. any update for us @iSun?
