Tidy Up 4 > Common Smart Box Scenarios > Multiple Locations Scenarios Index

Remove all but one item of each duplicate group that reside in a specific location, but only if they are duplicates in all locations

Assume that you have made a search in three locations (folder A and B and C) and you want to remove the items contained in the folder A and B but only if they are duplicates in all locations.

Criteria

Miscellaneous:

• Tidy Up Tag:

  1. Check the Tidy Up label is option.
  2. From the popup menu choose the  Folder A option.
  3. From the popup menu choose the  Folder B option.
  4. Choose the Item is duplicate in option.
  5. Choose the All searched locations option from the popup menu.

• For each duplicate group:

  1. Check the report option.
  2. Check the all but one option.

This box will report all but one item of each duplicate group that reside in one of the three locations chosen (Folders A, B and C) and which are duplicates in all the searched locations.

For example, if a duplicate group contains 3 items and one resides in Folder A, one resides in Folder B and one in Folder C; Tidy Up will report two of them.

If, instead, a duplicate group contains 3 items, two duplicates reside in Folder A and one in Folder C; Tidy Up will report none of them.
