Clone Files Checker\u00a0follows Google Software Principles<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n
Manual Deletion of Image Files<\/h2>\nAdjusting Drive Indexing Settings:<\/h3>\n
The first step for manual removal of such unnecessary files is adjusting the Indexing Options<\/b>. If you wish to have an improved experience with Windows Search<\/b>, you first need to ensure that your computer\u2019s drive indexing feature is enabled. This feature automatically indexes all the files stored in selected drives. When this feature is enabled, a user can get relevant and accurate search results in a shorter period of time. However, when this feature is disabled, a user may not be able to obtain accurate results.<\/p>\n
Follow the given steps to check if Indexing Options<\/b> has been turned on for your computer.<\/p>\n\n- Hold and press the Windows<\/b> + X<\/b> keys together.<\/li>\n
- Choose the Search<\/b> option.<\/li>\n
- A Search Box will appear. Type Indexing Options<\/b> in it.<\/li>\n
- Select the Indexing Options<\/b> under the Settings<\/b> heading.<\/li>\n
- Hit the Modify<\/b> button.<\/li>\n
- Now click the Show all locations<\/b> button.<\/li>\n
- Ensure that all drives are selected beneath the Change selected locations<\/b> group.<\/li>\n
- Click OK<\/b> | Close<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

Searching and Deleting Duplicate Images<\/h3>\n\n- Double-click the This PC<\/b>\/ My Computer<\/b> icon in your desktop.<\/li>\n
- Open any drive, which contains duplicate images. Let\u2019s say you open drive E<\/b>.<\/li>\n
- Hit the F3<\/b> key from your keyboard to initialize a new Search.<\/li>\n
- Type the following keywords turn by turn in the Search Box<\/b> located at the top right corner:\n
\n- .png<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- .gif<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- .jpg<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- .jpeg<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- If the Ribbon is minimized, hold and press the Ctrl<\/b> + F1<\/b> keys together to see an expanded view.<\/li>\n
- Select the View<\/b> tab.<\/li>\n
- Drag the pointer towards the Pane<\/b> category on the extreme left corner of the screen and then select Preview Pane<\/b>.<\/li>\n
- Go to the Current View<\/b> category and then click Group by<\/b>.<\/li>\n
- A drop down box will appear. Select Name<\/b> | Ascending<\/b> in it.<\/li>\n
- From the Layout<\/b> category that lies within the same plane, click Details<\/b>. Doing so will display all your desired search results sorted out according to the settings you just applied a while ago. You will also be able to see each file\u2019s details such as name, type, size, parent folder and date modified. All the duplicate images will be appearing side by side with the original image file.<\/li>\n
- Compare all image previews to identify the duplicates.<\/li>\n
- Select all unnecessary duplicate files using the following method:\n
\n- Press the Ctrl<\/b> key and click simultaneously to select files in a non-sequential manner.<\/li>\n
- Press the Shift<\/b> key and click simultaneously to keep selecting files in a sequence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Hit the Delete<\/b> key on your keyboard if you wish to move these files directly to the Recycle Bin<\/b>. Or else, to be on the safe side, you could make a new folder to be able to review the files later on and then decide about them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
