I have 105,005+ dupes after a server change

(1/2) > >>

jmrdc:
Long story short...Lots of things were re-copied in folders, after a server change,
yada.  Is there some way of, short of manually, reduce the clicks to get the duplicates to delete?

EnglishTiger:
In among the MC provided Smartlists you should find one called "Audio -- Task -- Possible duplicates" that will provide you with a list of every track that has a duplicate. The list will contain 2 entries for each Duplicated Track.

Make a note of the what is in the box  alongside "Modify Results" Rule  "Only Duplicates" entry then set up anther Smartlist using the "Audio -- Task -- Possible duplicates" Smartist as the input and set up a "Modify Results"  Rule selecting "Remove duplicates of" from the dropdown and list and put the same value in the 2nd box to the one that is in the "Audio -- Task -- Possible duplicates" Smartlist.

When you run it you should get a list containing 1 copy of the Duplicated Tracks, check to make sure the total number of files is 50% of the number of tracks from the first list.
Once you are certain the list only contains 1 entry for each duplicated track select all the tracks and delete them.

JimH:
They're probably in different locations.  So sorting by location.  Or search for the location you want to remove, then delete.

I think I'm going to try this way from ET after I checked Jim's selection and they're all in their proper folders - thanks Jim.

So, two different Smartlists?
