snoopaloop83 Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Hello, I am a big fan of Launchbox keep up the good work! Not sure how I did it (i have several theories) but i seem to have obtained several duplicate images in many games across platforms, from boxes to screen shots logos etc.... Does anyone recommend any utilities or methods for getting rid of these? Other than starting over again. Thanks!
ALIE Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Hello i have found out i had the same problem i tried a duplicate file finder but it seems a bit hit or miss. i just tried duplicate file fixer and its very good but it isnt free. but not sure how much the trial can do. edit only 15 files on the trial Edited August 28, 2016 by ALIE
ALIE Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 found a great program Auslogics duplicate file finder it shows a preview of the file as you scroll. anyway it found 1400 duplicate files around 10gb of images
CADScott Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 I used a program called "Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder", which is free, and can find images that look the same, but may be different resolutions and file types. It takes a some time, as you need to manually examine the results, but it does a great job of cleaning up duplicated images. 2
snoopaloop83 Posted August 28, 2016 Author Posted August 28, 2016 Thanks I will try them out and let you know how the results go

snoopaloop83 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Posted August 29, 2016 Seems to work good so far....unfortunately it seems i have to manually delete them all....not sure if there is a way to just delete all that match 100% at once? I could be missing something. This will be a long night :lol
CADScott Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 I have not used the program for a while, but I am sure there was a way to have it select all the images that were 100% match, which you could then delete all selected. Will try to have a look at it tonight.
snoopaloop83 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Posted August 29, 2016 Seems i could just do a search for 100% identical...which is what i should've done
snoopaloop83 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Posted August 31, 2016 I downloaded it just fine no spyware detected
DOS76 Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 I've installed Auslogic before with no issues but have never heard of the other one so can't say.
snoopaloop83 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Update on my progress im actually still working on cleaning my images it found 10k + which i have to manually delete been leaving the program running and just do a handfull a day click click click click DELETE DELETE DELETE!

snoopaloop83 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Posted September 1, 2016 scroll up my friend and you shall find
Norbert895 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 personally, I use Duplicate Media Finder. This software can find your photos saved in different formats (even if they have been retouched). @snoopaloop83 You don't have to manually delete them one by one. It finds the duplicate files and lets you chose what you want to do with them.
C-Beats Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Locking thread as LaunchBox now has this feature built into the Clean Up Media feature already.
