Cannot select folder group for deletion

Post by iw »

Hello,

On the Duplicate Folders tab when I try to select the checkbox next to the folder group (so I can delete all the folders in the group) nothing happens. I have to select every individual folder within the group if I want to delete all the folders. Am I doing something wrong or is there a setting that will allow me to select the entire folder group for deletion?

I went through this manual page:
https://www.duplicatecleaner.com/manual ... =&sct=MjEx

That I found in this similar post:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2386&p=7625&hilit=d ... ders#p7625

But I couldn't find how to select the group.

Thanks

The root folder group checkbox is disabled in v4 - this is to stop accidental deletion of all copies of a duplicate folder.

If you do want to delete them all you can click on the first and shift-click on the last, then hit space to mark. Less clicks than selecting each one!
