Windows 10: Best Duplicate Photo Free App?

Trying to delete some duplicate photos on my CPU. What's the best free app to use that will delete a lot at a time. I tried a few apps, but then they want me to upgrade in order to delete more than 10 photos. Just wondering. Any help is appreciative. Thanks!

Removing duplicate photos from Microsoft Photos

Hi Tony,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Deleting photos from Microsoft Photos will delete the files from the original location. However, Microsoft Photos will only display the photos from the folders that are added to Photos application. You can remove the folders from Microsoft Photos that
you don’t want. Follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Open Microsoft Photos app.
   
2. Click on the Ellipsis on the top right corner of the window and click on
   Settings.
   
3. Under Sources, remove the folder that has duplicate photos by clicking on
   X.
   

To remove the duplicate photos from the computer, please navigate to the location where the photos are saved and then you can delete the photos are duplicate.

Photo App creating duplicates

Hi Greg thank you for your response. They are not actually duplicated on my hard drive i.e in the folder in the file manager. They are just showing as duplicates within the app. I noticed in settings of the photo app that Google Drive is listed as a source
so I think the app sees the same picture there and that is how it is getting duplicated in the app. I deleted that source with no change but I will wait until I take some more pictures to see it that could be the issue. -Thanks

You are most welcome!

Regarding your concern about how you can stop the Photos app from linking duplicate photos, please do the following:

1. Launch the Photos app.
2. Tap on the Ellipsis icon located at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
3. Tap Settings.
4. Look for the Linked duplicates On/Off slider and tap it once. This should stop it from linking your duplicate photos moving forward.

Regards.
