 Tutorial - Duplicate Tools - Delete From Folder

This feature allows you to select folders and delete all of the previously found duplicate files that were found by the Duplicates - Exact Search processed in the Duplicate Files Tutorial

Step 1: Starting point for Deleting Files by Folder

Step 2: Select the individual folders that you want to include for deletion.

Step 3: Once the folders are selected, press the Delete Files in Selected Folders.  Note: Throughout Space Hound 4, files selected for deletion are initially sent to the Pending Deletes List.  This list, when displayed is where you make final decisions about which files to delete.  One of the features of Space Hound 4 is that anytime this list is loaded, the files are checked to see if there are any reasons why they shouldn't be deleted.

Step 4: This is the results page after deleting files from the selected folders.

Step 5: Files which have been deleted are indicated with the word DELETED in front of the Folder Path Name.

Step 6: The number of currently Pending Deletes is updated to reflect the new files that have been scheduled for deletion

Step 7: Review the Pending Deletes List and select a final disposition.

Some final notes on how Space Hound 4 handles file deletions. Deletion of the wrong files can damage your computer's ability to function. Inexperienced users who trust our competitors programs and simply delete all files found by a duplicate search may not realize what has happened for days or weeks.  Space Hound has historically resisted the frequent request by users for a faster way to delete large groups of duplicate files.  However, with our new intelligent scan for file dependencies, in-use files, and operating system elements, you can fell relatively safe about using a tool such as Delete By Folder.
