🗑️ File Management

Safe deletion or moving of found duplicates is an important part of working with the program.

📝 Step 1: Marking Files

In the scan results (or in the comparison tab), check the "🗑️ DELETE" checkboxes or click the corresponding button next to the files you want to delete or move.

📊 Step 2: Reviewing the Selection

The top deletion management panel shows:

• Marked: X files – the number of unique marked files.
• Total size: Y MB – the total size of the marked files.
• Buttons:
  • Clear marks – removes all marks.
  • 🗑️ Delete/move marked (X) – launches a bulk operation.

✅ Step 3: Choosing the Deletion Action

When you click the delete button (both for bulk deletion and for single deletion via the context menu or buttons on the comparison tab), a dialog with options will appear:

• 🗑️ Move to Trash – the file is moved to the Trash (can be restored).
• 💣 Delete permanently – irreversible deletion (cannot be restored by ordinary means).
• 📁 Move to folder – allows you to select a target folder where the file will be moved (if a name conflict occurs, a number is automatically added).

For bulk deletion, the action is applied to all marked files.

🔄 Update After Deletion

After deleting/moving a file, the program automatically:

• Removes this file from the marked set.
• Deletes all pairs in which it participated.
• Recalculates pagination and search filtering.
• Updates the information on the comparison tab (if the deleted file was selected).

🖱️ Context Menu

Right-click on any file panel (preview or text information) – a context menu will open with the item 📂 Open file location. This allows you to quickly navigate to the folder containing the file in File Explorer.

🛡️ Safety

• The program always asks for confirmation before deletion/moving.
