Duplicate bookfile deletion Question?

bluesjunior · 01-01-2019, 02:03 PM

I have used Calibre on my PC as a library for my EPUB reader for many years and over that time due to new PC installations, reinstalling libraries etc etc I have noticed that I have acquired quite a lot of duplicates. I know that while installing to Calibre there is an option to delete but sometimes I have just installed them anyway. I tried the Auslogics Duplicate File Finder but for one I think it discounts books as being too small and the photos etc it did find some of them I want to keep in several copies.

It would take more time than I want to give to do this manually but can anyone point me to a program or such which is capable of just scanning my book library folders/files for duplicates and aid me in deleting them?. Any advice help offered is much appreciated.

You could install the calibre plugin Find Duplicates.
