fountain Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Any suggestions on ways to eliminate duplicate files in storage folders --duplicates of user created files-- on my computer? I have all of Jane's recent updates and I want "clean house" before I put those in so I don't miss an old dl and put that old file in a game by mistake. (My son helped do registry cleaning on my computer a few days ago.) Is there a "find duplicate files" set up that I can confine to ztd files? I have MS Windows 10 and the latest updates. Thanks in advance!
fountain Posted February 10, 2018 Author Posted February 10, 2018 Well that's clever! I never though of making a simple change of adding a special letter. I envisioned having to read all the dates & details for each file. I will do that. Thanks!
jbl89 Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 You better use the hint on googling for a tool to find duplicate files. I think CCleaner will come up first, which is also frequently used to do registry cleanings. But there are hundreds of similar tools. Just in case they're in different folders, or a different name after all. ;) 1
fountain Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 I have CCleaner. I check that first. Thanks!

I tried to modify it look at only ZT folders but I couldn't so I'm looking at 15+ Silverlight from MS, meaning it searches all of the drive. I will try something else.
