duplicate photos from all folders

M

mark

This seems like a simple question but of course NO where
in help can I find an answer. I would like to view all
pictures in a file including all the sub folders so that
I can delete the dupilcate photos. It has taken me
forever to just get an anwser about moving photos from
one location to another. ALL I WANT IS ALL PHOTOS LISTED
IN ONE FOLDER. But since no one on this planet can
provide how this works I have wasted hours and hours
trying to accomplish this. Since NO ONE can make it clear
to me I am BEGGING anyone out there to help. In the
simple effort to move my pics on hard drive to a storage
lexar drive, I ended up copying many them, instead of
MOVING them. So now I have all these sub folders
containing duplicate pics. IF YOU CAN SOLVE/FIX THIS
PROBLEM FOR ME I WILL PERSONALLY PAY YOU!. It is truly
mind blowing to me that not ONE help file or computer
specialist can give me simple instructions in plain
english that a brainless lunatic can understand. If YOU
are this miracle worker I will greatly reward you. I have
had it with the incompetecy of HP, Mocrosoft or anyoneI
know on earth to help. DO YOU EXIST? Contact me please

This is not a big problem to solve but will be time consuming.
Before you do this, open your Recycle bin and delete all the files in it,
after making sure you indeed no not need these files. If you need them,
restore them to the original folder. For the operation described below, it
is best to start with a clean Recycle bin.
1. Search for all your photo files on your hard drive so you can recognize
and delete the duplicates.
To do this, click on Start, click on Search, click on Pictures, music or
video. Check the box Pictures and photos and type exactly this in the box
"All or part of the file name":
*.jpg
and click on Search
All your photo files will be displayed in the result window. To delete
duplicate, you will have to switch between "Thumbnails view" showing you the
picture and "Details view" showing you the exact folder/subfolder location.
Just look at the top bar, last icon on the right and click on it to change
from thumbnails to details view. Select the duplicate your want and delete
them. They will go to the Recycle bin. When you finish the job, check that
the folder/subfolder have all the original pictures, if not or you made a
mistake, go to the Recycle bin and restore the pictures back. Once this is
all done, open the Recycle bin and delete all the files.
