I have many duplicate files, is there an easy way to delete duplicates? It takes a long time to go one by one.

[Dawgincontrol]

Are they in different folders or drives??  If so list by location and then highlight the ones in the location you don't want and delete.

I have this same problem.  The files are not in different locations.  And it will take forever to delete duplicate entries manually.  Would really like some help with this, please.

You might try sorting by Date Imported to see if that will successfully sort your duplicates for batch deletion. You can also use the standard Duplicates smartlist to help identify duplicate music files and do your sorting within that smartlist. If you don't have much metadata stored in the MC database it might be easier to clear the library and reimport if those two options fail.

Just checking; is by chance the same music folder mentioned twice in MC's library settings list of folders to be Auto Imported?

you will need to manually select the files you wish to eliminate in MC.

Or restore a backup.  MC makes them automatically.

Are there actual duplicated files in the directories?  If so, what other software do you use to manage the files?
