Delete All But First Duplicate

Top   Previous   Next

The Delete All But First File command is useful when you have a group of duplicates where you are not concerned with preserving a directory structure. This command will preserve only the first item in the group. The first item is dependent on the sorting you have set. This command is a safe command and you will not be able to delete all occurrences of a file using this command.

 

The Delete All But First File command is only available when you are in View By Group mode and a group has been selected which has duplicate files in it.

 

To use this command, use the following procedure.

1. Run a Duplicate Hunt to generate results.
2. Select a group of files in view by group mode.
3. Run the Delete All But First File deletion method.

 

The items will be automatically deleted, and the results will be updated.

 

This deletion method is only available in the Professional version.
