How to Delete, Move or Copy the Selected Files?

What happens to the selected files is decided by the dropdown next to Selection.

Step 1: Pick an action

  • Delete to Recycle Bin: the default and the safest choice. Files can still be restored from the Recycle Bin.
  • Remove from List: only clears the entries from the result list, the files stay on disk.
  • Move To Folder: moves the selected files into a folder you pick.
  • Copy to Folder: copies the selected files into a folder you pick, the originals stay in place.

Step 3: Check the result

The status bar updates Total Size and Total Size Removed, so you can see how much space the cleanup really freed.

Good practice

  • Start with Delete to Recycle Bin and empty it only after you are sure.
  • Use Export HTML first if you want a record of what was removed.
  • Move To Folder is handy to park duplicates on another drive before deleting them for good.
