finding duplicate cleaner to be very slow.

Post by raeforlong »

Is it meant to be so slow? I thought it was finished at 28 mins then it restarted doing this hash calculation thing. Really not sure whats going on. It's completed 20% of about 935GB in approx 1hour 45mins. Is that usual?
Can anyone advise please?

How about more information?
At the least, the log file from your last scan.

It often does do a second pass of hash calulcation - this is normal. 1TB of files can take a while depending on how many same size files there are (and how large). External and networks drives can also be slower due to reading speed.
