Can I Delete All Duplicate Files of Same Size?

Post by *totalatha »

I made a mistake by renaming the copied files into a folder containing
the same files. Now, I have all files duplicated with files of almost the same name, but exactly the same size. Can I delete the duplicates of the same size?
Thank you!

Don't know how many files you've copied, but you can use the search to identify the files.

Search -> tab advanced -> find duplicates and uncheck name.
maybe check same contents also to be sure it's a duplicate..

then feed to listbox, but you wil have to select the files manually which you want to delete...

Maybe creation date will help to find last created files in a folder, just sort files by custom column [=tc.creationdate] (new copies have newer creation date than old files). But still be careful.

Do you have a backup made before things went wrong? Even is it is not quite up to date, it might help you in making decisions.
