Jazzy Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hi, can someone tell me if i can delete all the files that seem double after the double file searcher has shown the results or do i have to keep 1 of the results shown of each checked file. And if yes, which one is preferable... Thanx in advance, Regards, Jazzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted February 27, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 27, 2015 Can you, I believe so. Should you a very qualified NO ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Tasgandy Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 The duplicate file finder I use also lists the original and the duplicate files and places a "tick" in the box of the file that can be deleted if required. If you have searched for "exact duplicate" name/size/date created etc. it does not matter which one is deleted. My software app always places a "tick" in the box of the first listed one. Just to be on the safe side, I double check each file before deleting them one by one.

Moderators mta Posted March 1, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 1, 2015 it does not matter which one is deleted. Not necessarily true Tas. You could still delete the 'wrong one' from a folder a particular program is expecting it to be found in if it is a system file. For personal files however, I would concur. I double check each file before deleting them one by one. Now that is a statement that the Dup File Finder should plaster over the list of files it shows you. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

I should have said "personal files" only. In my case I'm only attempting to locate large duplicate files, normally very large photo and video files which is easy for me as I use one HD for System & Apps and other HDD's for Data and only perform searches on the data drives. So Jazzy my apologies for not being more specific with my opinion and thanks once again mta Always With Kind RegardsTasgandy"one is never too old to listen & learn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the duplicate file finder that you use CC Cleaner? Methinks it is not.... because when I use (I am a noob user of CC Cleaner Pro as of yesterday) CC Cleaner it does not "tick" anything for me. Can CC cleaner do what your suggesting? -fryer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
