double files or clone directories check

Post by *ibokibele »

Hii friends, I have several backups and there are alot of same files/directories at my notebook and/or backup HD and our server pc.
Is there an easy way to search to make a list/report/display these files with their roots? I just want to delete unnecessary same files/directories to delete some unnecessary clones. Also it would be great to indicate directories (another words, clone directories) which have same files and directories in it.

Another suggestion: I could not write my subject with your advanced search window. Is it possible to add logical options such that AND or OR between several words such that for my case: I would like to search as "double files" or double AND files?

thanks in advance

Just use the search function "Commands - Search".
- At "Search in" enter the root paths to include for your search (e.g. "D:\Documents;F:\Backup;\\server1\share" )
- optional enable "Everything" if it is installed to make it faster
- At tab "Advanced" enable option "Find duplicate files"
- Start the search
After getting your search results, press button "Feed to listbox" and see the files grouped by duplicates with their root path.
