![]() ![]() You can also preview the files in binary mode. It uses fast binary comparison algorithm and has internal preview supporting a lot of image, video, music and text file formats. The application will compare the content of your files so it will find duplicates even if they are using different file names. You could try emailing support on though I'd probably just make a list, Duplicate Finder has a 'Save to Text file' to save the results after you have scanned, and then manually delete the ones that Duplicate Finder won't handle.ĬCleaner has already done the hard work of finding them for you.Fast Duplicate File Finder will find all duplicate files in a folder and its sub folders. So I think that whatever is causing this is probably with the files themselves, especially as you say it's the same if you copy those files to a different location (different machine?) and Duplicate finder still wouldn't delete them. I thought that it would be something to do with the way the external drives are connected and being seen by Windows?Īlthough I do note that you say it sometimes happens with internal drives as well. ![]() Almost as if it was a permissions issue but you say you have ruled that out. It seems odd that Duplicate Finder can find them but can't delete them. ![]() if some are being removed but others not) then the answers to the questions above may give some other clues.Įxcept for if the files are already in use by some application, and I think you'd know if they were. If that is what is happening here then see this for how to prevent the drive(s) going to sleep: If/when this happens then when Windows wakes the drive again CCleaner will see the drive as having been changed, so for safety will not apply the results of previously run searches. If it's been long enough between the scan and the attempt to access/delete the file(s) then the external drive may have been powered off/put to sleep by Windows. My first thought is due to the fact that these are external drives.Īnd from your description of what is happening it sounds as if it might be similar to something that is sometimes seen when using Recuva with external drives. Is there anything unusual about the formatting of the external drives? (RAID for example). What kind of files are these? (What is being removed and what isn't being removed). Is it just certain files or when it happens will it not remove any files? ![]() The files are located on different external drives so the problem is not isolated to 1 drive.Ī couple of questions the answers to which may help pin down what is happening here. I can locate the files from the list CCleaner spits out and delete them myself, I have tried running CCleaner in administrator mode, the files are not set to compressed nor set to archived status, my log from DEBUG does not offer any useful information for this problem, multiple ccleaner uninstall and reinstall, reinstalled windows 10, I even got a brand new computer to try this on with a fresh setup, this is not caused by my antivirus or windows defender as I tried doing it on a fresh installation of windows. I have made sure the folder and its files are owned by myself, everyone has full control, folder is NOT on read only mode. I have tried everything possible to fix this. I keep getting the "Some selected files were not deleted" error. I am running Windows 10 with latest updates and CCleaner v (64-bit). I love the way that CCleaner searches for duplicate files by content. Hello, I've been having this problem off and on and lately it has become unusable. ![]()
