I suggest that Deletions be to the Recycle Bin, not immediate deletes, just-in-case.Ġ – 4K FILES? You’re probably pushing the limits of patience. You may wish also to have (an) Explorer window(s) open to handle the deletions. Folder names are intermixed with File names.įor each duplicate in WCHS2, in WCHS1 do an Edit>Find (Ctrl+F) for the name of interest.įind all duplicates in WCHS1, and deal appropriately. Now, using two copies of an editor – Notepad is fine – Open both WCHS1.TXT and WCHS2.TXT. This has been a problem in the past, but may not be now.Ģ) Careful: the string following /V is exactly “spaceperiod” SORT /+40 /REC 400 WCHS1.TXT /O WCHS2.TXTġ) If you are doing a Copy/Paste from here, ensure that the quotation marks are ‘straight’ not smart/curly. – Adjust as needed substitute the correct folder name for WCHS.Įxtract the names of the folders and files. Navigate to the highest level directory (folder) that you need to check. (You may type either in CAPS or in lower-case I use CAPS here for clarity.) Key in each of the following in a Command Prompt. The following is slightly cumbersome, but may be worth trying. How comfortable are you with using the Command Prompt? My \Users\Paul\Documents has about 2K Files and 195 Folders.
My \Users\Paul has >43K Files and >7500 Folders.īut the majority of these are in AppData: >24K Files and >6600 Folders. How many folders and files do you have to check? All I want is a listing so that I can see if this duplication happened elsewhere on my device. I have found a mention of ALLDUP, but it seems very complicated. I have done a search for “duplicate files” and many posts say something about having identified/deleted duplicate files, but there is barely a mention of what program was used to do this. I am not interested in anything fancy … just a listing of duplicate files so I can delete the copied folders manually, once I can identify them and see if they are candidates for deletion. So, I am looking for a program that will do this. Now since I have discovered this one instance of an untoward partially-copied folder, I want to be able to see if there are other duplicate folders/files like this anywhere else on my device. (I can imagine how an entire folder could be copied, but not part of a folder it is very mysterious-the copied subfolder is about 75MB). This happened five months ago, while I was still in Version 1909, and I have no idea as to what could have made this happen. I just noticed that part, but not all of a folder, has been copied as a sub-folder with the same foldername somewhere else in my Documents.
