    two of same files showing in search


    Hi All

    It may have been answered already but i am new to this forum so please be kind, When i search for a file in explorer i get two files with the same name, size, location etc... but when i delete both one comes up with a skip as it cannot find the file now, How can i make the searh only find one file and not show the other

    Thanks
    Matt

    See this Artical:

    Eliminate duplicate files

    If you have lots of duplicate files you may want to use this programme to help delete duplicates:

    The files are not duplicates they are the same file (like a ghost file) when one is deleted the other is then not accessible but still shows up in search

    Can you take a screen shot and upload it here so I can see an example. I'm just wondering if its a TMP file of the origional. Or some sort of backup.

    Strange. I notice this is on your Bond_DO_Server

    Do you have the same issue on any other drives?. Or just on the Bond Server

    i notice the dates modified are different, also if you right click them and select open file location. are they different locations?
