Another Deleting issue

Post by bsacco »

I am attempting to delete a rather large collection of found duplicated files.

THe first time I tried the program crashed and I had to start all over.

The second time it's chugging away but it is taking FOREVER to process as it says it is "Queueing files" for deletion.

It's taking so long (again) that I feel it is probably going to crash again and puke.

Why is this happening?

Is there a way to avoid this situation?

What am I doing wrong?

Best, bob

I'm still having issues removing files.

Is there any other settings I should know about?

Every time I try to run the program it takes an entire day. Then it crashes.

In addition, when I examine my recycle bin it only has a portion of the files that were selected for deletion.

When I open the program again it shows the list of all the items selected for deletion.

This is driving me crazy. It's the same process over and over again without results.

Even when I select files to delete manually it takes forever and the program says (not responding) while it takes forever to finally delete.

I need assistance to be able to mass delete files using this program.

Can this program find duplicates delete them, then send all the surviving files to a Folder of my choice?
