    Mirrored or Duplicate File


    Welcome to my problem and thanks in anticipation for your help.

    I have an internal 1.8 TB HD in my PC (Drive G: volume name Backup) where I chuck a multitude of Files and Folders etc, for safe keeping, whenever any information is saved to the drive, however, a copy is also saved to the folder G:\, (see Screen print 1), likewise if a file is deleted from either then it is deleted from the other one? Is it referred to as a duplicate or mirrored? How was it created, and can it be removed?
    Thanks
    Jim

    :)

    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.

  3. 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. Does the program you suggested compare file content or do they simply point out duplicate
    file names?
