    duplicate files


    This is a puzzler. Apple tech couldn't figure it out. Itunes for Windows shows many duplicate songs in my Music folder. Too many to delete individually. So I tried not one but six different duplicate file finder apps. None could find duplicates. They are there. I can see them in File Explorer. But I can't locate them with an app that would let me batch delete. Does anyone have an explanation or a fix?

    :)

    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.

    How to remove duplicate files in Windows 10.

    Thank you for the suggestion. I need to see a list of duplicate files and select those I want to eliminate. Do either of the programs you suggested compare file content or do they simply point out duplicate
    file names?
