in thread Find duplicate files with exact same files noted
Here is some sample output to show you what is going on.
In the following example, there are two files with the exact same file name and size in two different directories, but they do not have the same contents.
season_01.txt (234 bytes) 2 C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/fantasy/files/data/M +ovies/Episode_lists/Leverage/season_01.txt C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/fantasy/files/data/M +ovies/Episode_lists/Tremors/Tremors_The_Series/season_01.txt
In this next example, there are two files with the exact same file name and size in two different directories, and they do have the same contents.
logo.gif (4060 bytes) 2 C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/My Pictures/other/We +bLayout/graphics/logo.gif Exact copy: C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/ +My Pictures/other/WebLayout/logos/logo.gif C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/My Pictures/other/We +bLayout/logos/logo.gif Exact copy: C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/ +My Pictures/other/WebLayout/graphics/logo.gif
Here there are six files with the same file name and size in different directories. Some do have the same contents, but some do not have the same contents.
desktop.ini (345 bytes) 6 C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/My Music/Depeche Mod +e/101 Disc 1/desktop.ini Exact copy: C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/ +My Music/Depeche Mode/101 Disc 2/desktop.ini C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/My Music/Depeche Mod +e/101 Disc 2/desktop.ini Exact copy: C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/ +My Music/Depeche Mode/101 Disc 1/desktop.ini C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/My Music/Duran Duran +/Greatest/desktop.ini C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/My Music/Prince & th +e Revolution/Purple Rain/desktop.ini C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/My Music/Queen/Live +Killers Disc 1/desktop.ini Exact copy: C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/ +My Music/Queen/Live Killers Disc 2/desktop.ini C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/My Music/Queen/Live +Killers Disc 2/desktop.ini Exact copy: C:/Documents and Settings/ME/My Documents/ +My Music/Queen/Live Killers Disc 1/desktop.ini
This output is exactly what I wanted. I don't have many examples left, since I already went through and deleted most of the duplicate files. I just have to make a few more decisions for the rest of them.
Addition: I had about half a dozen copies of the same two image files all over My Documents.
