CJ Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I have done a search on my PC for all the jpg files and there are loads of duplicates. Other than looking through each one, is there a method of identifying which are duplicates to enable me to delete them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 A simple way would be to move them all to the same folder, when a duplicate filename is found Windows will ask if you want to overwrite the existing file. Just say "Yes to all" and you'll be left with just one copy of each file. ps I'm looking into that TomTom greece thing for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 I am not sure what I am doing wrong here I use the search facility with XP and ask it to show all files ending .jpg. When it completes, I then select all and copy but it refuses to paste into a different folder. Am I being thick here or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Anybody know of anything like this for mp3's? ID3 tag similarities and such.. CRC32 or MD5 is no good for mp3's if the id3tag has been altered.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
