Delete All But Newest Duplicate

Top   Previous   Next

The Delete All But Newest 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 most recently modified file. 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 Newest File deletion method is only available when 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 either view by path or view by group mode).
3. Run the Delete All But Newest File deletion method.

 

All files except the newest file will be automatically deleted (leaving one file remaining) and the results will be updated.
