Search for similar items regardless of any part of the name after a separator, if the name ends with a number

Figure 76: Search for same items regardless of any part of the name after a separator, if the name ends with a number.

These criteria differ from those in Figure 75 because of the extra option that removes the final part of the name, if the name ends with any number after one of the entered separators.

Search Location

Any disc or folder.

Criteria

Common Attributes:

The result will contain files, packages and folders that have the same date modified, same date created and same name other than the excluded part. Each duplicate group may contain either files or folders, or both.

This search generally returns a huge number of items, making it difficult to identify which ones to trash. However, you can add other criteria that help you reduce the results. It is useful if you limit the search to one or two sources.

Note that you can also exclude alpha characters after the separators.
