Remove duplicate folders

Post by Vonsmugh »

Hello. New to this forum so this may already have been asked. Is there a way to remove duplicate folders by name and not by the files inside them? I had created a backup and somehow on my backup hard drive, it created all duplicate folders. So know I just want to remove all the duplicates without doing it one by one.

Thank you

The program can match by same folder name, though it will also try and match all the files inside it as well.
There is a duplicate folders tab which displays root groups of matched folders for easier removal (so you don't have to go through the files).
