-
-
- Purpose:
- Delete duplicate or older files in one directory that already
- exist in another disk directory.
-
- Syntax:
- DELDUPE directory-to-delete [master-directory]
- [/O] [/T] [/S] [/V] [/P] [/N]
-
- The 'directory-to-delete' specifies the drive and path name of
- the 'old' directory containing old or duplicate files.
-
- The 'master-directory' specifies the drive and path name of the
- 'new' directory containing current or original files. If
- omitted, the current drive and directory is used.
-
- If files in the 'old' directory are the same date/time, or
- older, than files of the same name in the 'new' directory, they
- are deleted.
-
- Specify /O to delete older files: same name but of different
- size. If omitted, only files with the same name, datestamp, and
- size will be deleted.
-
- Specify /S to delete similar files: the same name and date/time
- but the size is different.
-
- Specify /N to delete files of the same name regardless of the
- date, time, or file size.
-
- Specify /T to display filenames only, but do not delete them.
- Use this option to determine which files are duplicates or older
- copies.
-
- Specify /V to confirm deletion of each eligible file.
-
- Specify /P to pause when the screen fills. You may enter a ^C
- (break) at this point but the current directory will not be
- properly restored.
-
- Examples:
- - Delete duplicate files in 'C:\TEMP' which already exist
- | in the current directory of drive B:
-
- deldupe c:\temp b:
-
- - Display the names of duplicate or older files in the directory
- called \PROJECTS which already exist in the directory \TEST
-
- deldupe \projects \test /o/t
