After a scan remove all files in FolderB that have a dublicate in FolderA

Post by BigOldArt »

Sorry if this is too newby a question.

After a scan is there a way to delete files in a folder e.g., FolderB when there are duplicates in a Folder A without having to click each one?

For example, folder b contains a set of files for all school subjects (English Math Geography).
c:\user\AllSubjects
Then they are copied "manually" into subfolders of FolderA.
c:\user\Subjects\English\
c:\user\Subjects\Geography\
c:\user\Subjects\Math\

The purpose is to check whether the manual copy of files to FolderA missed any of the files in FolderB

You may need the Select by Location tool.

See

This will let you mark all files in a folder (A) that are duplicated in (B)
