Note the checks for "size" and "content" (checksum), and "select all duplicates": Here is a partial screen clip of the duplicate checker selection box floating above the flat file display (which is in a "scrap" pane that can be operated on in various ways as a logical object). The folders' contents are first treated as a flat file. Here is a partial screen clip of the duplicate checker being selected for the nested folders shown: I use xplorer² to do this, and it has an exceptionally powerful and handy duplicate checker. My exercises in comparing/selecting duplicates and removing/deleting them have usually tended to be of sub-folders nested within a folder/directory, whose contents have been treated as a "flat file" (i.e., the process has not necessitated documents being moved from their original holding folders first). I doubt I would even throw away the extras but getting them out of the main reference area would be a big help. The more control the program offers for filters would probably be nice. If you can point me anything at all right now, just cleaning out the duplicated PST files would be a huge help. Years ago I used to have a program i used a lot on MP3's and Photos but don t remember the name and it may not even be Windows 8 compatible. The ability to scan for duplicates exceeding 500MB might be a good start. This has been a work in progress for some time and and as it all starts getting into a single location i am finding this more and more often. Some of these files are backup copies of PST files over 5GB in size that I may have 3 or 4 copies of. I can't risk running a mass "delete all but one copy"(though i wold like to) and am looking for the best way to scan this huge repository maybe in small chunks the first time to try to remove as many as i can. There are probably 10 copies of the exact same file in all in different places. In trying to create an all encompassing archive of all the company documents, i have ended up with an extremely bloated folder containing more redundant info than anything else.
