Duplicate folders find and delete them

Hi
I have a folder with many subfolders. Some folders appear to be in more than one place for example folder 32 is in folder A and B and Z. Can I use apple script to find all folders named 32 and ask whether or not and which ones do I want to delete?
Thanks a lot

  • How do i find and delete duplicate images in Photos? Help please!!

    With all the image sharing me and other half do my Photos library is FULL of duplicate images.. I need a quick and easy way to find and delete them. I've tried a couple of the free apps in the app store, but because the Photos library isn't a regular folder, they won't work! My library is way to
    big to manually scan through too.
    Any advice would be hugely appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

    Hi Keith,
    Thanks for the advice! However, it's not possible find the really large files this way since file size is not a smart album option. There are too many movies to find them manually.
    Best regards,
    Anders

  • How do I find and delete phantom email messages?

    The icon says I have five new messages (up from one a few weeks ago), but I can't find them in any of the folders (I have looked on both phone and computer). I have also changed my settings to erase deleted messages in 24 hours, but the phantom messages still seem to exist. How do I find and delete them.

    Under the file tab in iTunes, select Display Duplicates. From there you can delete them as well.

  • Finding and deleting powerbook g4 files from macbook pro

    I am finding old powerbook G4 files on my macbook pro and would like to find and delete them.  Any suggestions/recommendations on how I can do this?

    Go MBP (the best thing it has to offer is a PCI slot that the MacBook doesn't have). If you really need to use FM7, then cut the track on the iMac and import it into the MBP.
    As far as Rosetta, it won't open a plug in that isn't the same version (i.e., PPC or Universal Binary) as the host. So if your Logic version is UB, then the plug ins have to be too.
    If you can use FM7 in a stand alone mode, then you should be able to use it. I wouldn't recommend it because anything processor intensive tends to run crappy under Rosetta.
    Hope that helps.

  • I used Duplicate Annihilator to isolate dups in iPhoto on my iMac. At the end it told me it had marked the word duplicate in the comments / description field. How do I find and delete the marked photos?

    I used Duplicate Annihilator to isolate dups in iPhoto on my iMac. At the end of its search, it told me it had marked the word duplicate in the comments / description field. How do I find and delete the marked photos?

    File -> New Smart Album
    Description -> contains -> Duplicate
    will find them.
    Then the keystroke to delete depends on which version of iPhoto you have. All the keyboard shortcuts are under the Help menu.

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

  • How to find and delete duplicate photos in photo app

    how to find and delete duplicate photos in photo app

    Photos has no built-in tools to screen the library for duplicates. It relies on the warning on import, that should prevent you from importing duplicates.
    Once duplicate shave been imported, delete them manually, or use third-party tools.
    For example, these new apps claim to work with Photos:
    Power photos:  Fat Cat Software
    Duplicate annihilator: Brattoo Propaganda Software - Products
    PhotoSweeper: http://overmacs.com/photosweeper.html

  • Find and delete duplicate fotos in iphotos 9.5

    How do I find and delete duplicate fotos in iphotos 9.5

    Here is a list of applications will help identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported the library.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates:  PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • Find and delete duplicates?  PSE4

    Is there a way for PSE 4 to automatically find and delete duplicate photos?
    Thanks

    Robert
    I've seen similar posts, but so far no one has come up with a solution through PSE4. The hiccup is how do you define a "duplicate"-same file name could be two different images in different folders or a file could have been copied and renamed so Image1 and Dad's New Car may be the same image.
    If you use the Organizer, it will not import a picture that has enough similar attributes that it considers it a duplicate. I don't know the complete algorithm but I believe it includes, name, file type and size, date stamp, etc. If you try to import a file that Organizer considers in the catalog, it will show a screen listing the files, but I don't think you can copy or capture the data, short of writing it down manually.
    Are most of your files still in the camera naming format? If yes, you can do a Search for all JPGs (or TIFs or GIFs or whatever your photo format) and then manually scroll the names for like-named files. This can be tedious, I admit, if you have a large number of files.
    Hopefully someone will post with a better solution.
