muchlux Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hi. I am searching for a tool which finds duplicate folders.This means true identical folders, not only folders which contain "some" identical files but "all" identical files.I need this for removing true duplicate directories in a lot of backup media.I tried DupExplore etc. but they do not work as promised.Any help would be appreciated.

Jeremy Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 (edited) You mean folders with the same name? If so, Start > Search > <Insert Folder name here>, specify that you are looking for folders, view search results. Identical files... I recommend jv16 PowerTools.

muchlux Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hi,I mean true identical folders with identical content.For example I have some USB HDDs with a lot of backups, and I want to remove double backups.But some folders differ only in some files intentionally - they shall be kept intact.--> The folder name (not the complete folter tree) must be regarded during clone file search.I have around 100 folders and various subfolders, from them have 90% the identical content and shall be deleted.But the remaining 10% shall be kept intact. (~60GB Data all)The folder name and the containing data belongs together, folders with same name but different data shall be untouched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
