    is there any software to comparing files???

    It works, but I'm not sure it would be suitable for the task that the OP is facing; i.e. comparing "tens of thousands of files".

    AFAIK it has significant limitations:
    • The exact folder locations of the files to be compared must be explicitly entered
    • It can only compare the contents of a maximum of two folders at a time.
    • The files to be compared must have the same exact name, otherwise misnamed duplicates can be missed.
    • There is no built-in function that automates (preferably by a GUI) a summary display of duplicate files and a means to deal with them (i.e. choose which duplicates to move, delete, etc).

    Doublekiller, which I referred to above, is a simple, elegant GUI program which addresses every one of these deficiencies.

  3. File Comparing software

    oh, and I did forget to mention and I will apply this reply to the 1st suggestion that in downloading all these different applications and trying to find something that would remotely work for me I managed to somehow stuff up my file manager utility. That
    is I decided I won't bother with the software I will manually go through each bleeding file and compare the date and sizes myself. Problem is when I open file manager it just hangs and goes into a continuous that little blue circle the goes around and around
    and around and nothing can be done so I now have a Windows 10 no file manager that works so if you have any suggestions that would be great. Am I able to reinstall just file manager onto my computer without having to reinstall windows which will cause in itself
    all sorts of problems.
