    Detailed search for duplicate image files with similar name in File Explorer


    I have thousands of duplicate picture files in my File Backup storage drive and need to do some culling. File Backup is working properly now but I have too much duplication. How would I Search a folder and only isolate the second file?

    Please and thank you for your help.

    Finding duplicate files

    Hey hey,

    During the years the backups have just accumulated in random places, essentially, and I would like to clean up. Is there a program that can search for duplicate files? And by that I mean identical files. I tried dupeGuru, but that somehow found ... all files to be identical I guess? Like how a bunch of jpg's with different names, sizes and locations being marked 100% identical, or how a bunch of xls-files with completely different everything also were 100% matches with each other. I don't need any fancy functions, just a list of the files that share the name and filesize and created/last write dates.

    For images, I love DupDetector
    https://www.keronsoft.com/dupdetector.html

    It's cool and special because it matches images and photos by content (like Google can search for similar images) and not filename or date. You can even adjust the sensitivity. It'll find identical images across different file formats as well as different resolutions/sizes. So you can weed out low resolution duplicates of higher res images or simply actually the same duplicate images.
