Windows 10: delete duplicate pictures

I have numerous duplicate pictures in my files. How do I delete them

:)

 

Duplicate pictures

Hi Arlene

Open Windows File Explorer

On the left, choose Pictures

Find some of those duplicates, have the file names been appended with (1), (2) . . etc?

If so, in your Pictures library folder at the top right search for this criteria:

name:~"*)*"

That should list all duplicate image files in that folder

Copy all those out into another folder that is not in your pictures library folder until you are sure all duplicates have been removed and the originals remain, then you can delete those duplicates files

 

Duplicate Public Folders

Hi,

To further identify the cause of this problem, can you provide us the following information?

• What happens when you delete the duplicate folders?
• Does it happen to all of your folders or only those with pictures?
• Any steps you've tried to troubleshoot this issue?

Regards.

 

DELETING DUPLICATE PICTURES

I have pictures everywhere ... the same ones. I have moved many to an External Hard Drive, but I still have some in Picasa, Windows 10, my phone, OneDrive, icloud, ipad, Windows 8, and even a Kindle Fire. I have too many devices uploading and saving my
pictures. I need to clean up my mess and put them all in one place.

Any suggestions as to how I can organize them, and then delete the duplicates?

I am thinking I can organize them by year, and then by month/events.

Appreciate any leads on free downloadable software to help me in my project.

I just don't know where to start!!

Thanks for your ideas, leads, and thoughts.
