Re: Find duplicates based file name only

Thanks. That was the way I went initially, but I saw that "Match date only" was checked and could not be unchecked. That confused me.
Matter solved.
Thanks again!

Find duplicates based file name only

I have quite a lot of files that have converted from Excel to PDF.
Often they are more or less in the same sub folders.
As they are converted, they have different sizes and the modified date may also differ.

I want to search on duplicate file names only (file names without extension)
ignore date ...

How to save a preset (to context menu)?

Say I have the below scan criteria

- same file extension
- same date (ignore time)

Just to say thanks again.

Things worked out just fine!

Thanks - well, actually I went on to do the first suggestion.
I believe that went fine, but am still busy with it.

Re: Only delete duplicates of files in folder x:\ found elsewhere

Thank you very much indeed!

I'll give it a try later.

Initially I messed up things: folder1 untouched, but folder 2 all duplicates are deleted, but that was not correct of course.
So I am restoring folder2, from a backup.
Takes a while ...

Only delete duplicates of files in folder x:\ found elsewhere

Two folders:
X:\Folder1
Y:\Folder2

both folder1 and folder2 with sub folders.

Talking about many files (60,000 or so).

Folder1 has files with duplicates elsewhere in folder2.
The files in folder1 should not be touched. However, the duplicates of the files in folder1 that are found in folder2 ...

blah-blah.bak.docx
blah-blah.docx

search for images
from the result I have files with "bak.docx" marked.
they are on different drives
but all are marked and so ...
