This is a good video, but I'm not a fast learner and I'm still confused. Once they find all the duplicates (in this case photos), do I have to go through all of them and hand select the ones I wanted deleted? Or is there something I have to set to indicate that I want to keep one out of three images, etc. Are you able to clariffy this for me? I'd really appreciate any help I can get. Thanks so much!
So no you don't need to go through each photo and decide you can use the Select Assitant on the righthand side once your scan is complete (in the video is appears around 2:41), you can select how you want it to decide, so flag for deletion the smallest file, lastest date etc and then it will flag them for deletion. You can have a quick scan through to make sure you are happy with its choices and change what you don't like, but you can get it to do the leg work for you! Hope that is clearer, if not I do do paid coaching session where I can talk you through it in a personal session. 😁
Great video, thank you. Would this work with Apple Photos on a Mac? I have tons of photos in Apple Photos, but also tons in folders that I haven’t been moved over yet mixed with ones that I have. Is there any way to search for duplicates across Apple Photos and other folders? I just want to avoid moving photos I’ve already moved, if that makes sense. Edit: I’m an idiot, this is clearly just a Windows program. Any ideas for what I’m wanting to do with a Mac?
Unfortunately this is PC only, but don't worry I have you covered check out PhotoSweeper, you can point it towards your Apple Photos Account and it will look for your duplicates ua-cam.com/video/vpaPl2wzyQ0/v-deo.html. Also there is the new Apple Photos Duplicates tool in the app, but it is no way as good or controllable as PhotoSweeper 😁
Yes, you just need to make sure you have the Google Drive Sync App so the location shows in your Windows Explorer, then select a folder like any and run Duplicate Clean Pro 😁
Yes, just if you have the desktop app that gives you a location in Explorer, you can just pick the folder from the list and Duplicate Cleaner Pro like for any other folder 😁
I haven't seen a limit on the number of files to delete, is that coming from the programme or your computer? An alternative is to move them to another folder and then delete them. That is usually what I do as I do a few runs and then delete them all when I am done. 😁
Hmmm haven't seen that one before, have you tried ticking the show hidden folders tick box at the bottom. Is it totally blank or just the folder you want it now showing??🤔
Help! I have been using the Duplicate Cleaner 5 for two days. Trying to delete and it will not allow me. Says “export is disabled and file removal limited to groups 1-100.” Tried moving to a new file. Same error message. Anyone know how to enable export? I don’t see it in the FAQs. Thanks!
Hey, are you using a registered or trial version, that is usually a message that you get on the trial version as it will only move the first 100 until you buy the product. That is the only time I have seen that message. I hope that solves it!🙂
@@amandalittlecott thanks Amanda! You are right. I have 121gb to clear so wanted to try the free version to make sure I liked it before buy8ng. Now I have worked so long on it I will have to buy it so as not to lose two days worth of work. It isn’t bad, but a bit slow to use for me as I am not a techy person. Thanks again!!
Hi Amanda, I wanted to let you know I wrote to the company about my predicament and they kindly gave me a seven day pro trial so I can see how it works. I was able to delete over 10k files, but it crashes a bit. I am hoping it gets better when I free up more memory, but I wanted to let your readers know th e company is pretty nice. Thanks for your video and help!!
@@tasst2674 that is fantastic and thanks for the update! That is a lot of files, but hopefully next time it will be smaller and won't crash for you. Also just think if you had tried to find all those files yourself!! Magic isn't it! 😁
My mom tried organizing photos unsuccesfully troughout my entire childhood and left me with the worst imaginable mess of folders. There'd be file paths like 2006 / 05 / 2010 / 201002 / GRANDMA /... and then containing photos from 2007 which are clearly not from grandma's place, and also have the date 2009 saved in their meta data because the camera was set to the wrong date at the time! The camera was also set to different wrong dates at different times. Just when I though the worst has been taken care of, I discovered a folder in a folder in a folder which contained a *duplicate* of the ENTIRE FILE SYSTEM except slightly different and missing and adding some things here and there! So I can't even just delete it, I had to start at ground zero and start comparing! I promise it's the worst labyrinth anyone's ever witnessed! 😭😂 I hope this software can help to some extend.
Oh this will definitely help out, also if your head is spinning with all the folders, try this little trick to get your folder hierarchy in a txt file or Excel ua-cam.com/video/b4mwz1BdVXs/v-deo.html I use it all the time!! 😁

Very helpful, thank you
You are very welcome...There are a few great photo deduplication programmes out there, but this is my absolute favourite!!!😁
Hi Amanda. May I use Duplicate Cleaner Pro 5 to clean my Google Drive?
Yes, you just need to make sure you have the Google Drive Sync App so the location shows in your Windows Explorer, then select a folder like any and run Duplicate Clean Pro 😁
Amanda does Duplicate Cleaner pro 5 also work with Windows OneDrive?
Yes, just if you have the desktop app that gives you a location in Explorer, you can just pick the folder from the list and Duplicate Cleaner Pro like for any other folder 😁
hi i have question, what if too many duplicate file i found? i cant delete it all, i have 800 files to delete but it said max 1-100. what should i do?
I haven't seen a limit on the number of files to delete, is that coming from the programme or your computer? An alternative is to move them to another folder and then delete them. That is usually what I do as I do a few runs and then delete them all when I am done. 😁
Think I downloaded the wrong app - Duplicate photo cleaner v7 Do you have any advice on that? I dont think this one does videos.
Oh yes that only does images, this is the one you want www.duplicatecleaner.com/😁
I don't have any folders showing up under "Available Folders" in the Scan Location tab. I can't figure out what I need to do. Help!
Hmmm haven't seen that one before, have you tried ticking the show hidden folders tick box at the bottom. Is it totally blank or just the folder you want it now showing??🤔
@@amandalittlecott thanks so much for replying. I guess it was a permissions thing because they show up now. Your videos are really helpful! 💕
@@aprildavidbetsch8046 Yay!!! Have fun getting rid of those duplicates it is soooo cleansing!

most of these charge if you want to delete more than 15 files
I hate people who wag their fingers at me whilst they are talking.
