  2. I purchased DP Prime tonight 7/4/18, and when I went into setting and deleted the Free DP icon, both Duplicate Cleaner Icons were gone. Now I don’t have either one . Did I do something wrong by deleting the Free DP icon? Will I have to repurchase DP Prime again?

    1. I have the prime edition. It is beautiful, but I set it to clean one hard drive. It found 30,000 duplicate files. It cleaned the dupes out fine. I have 14,000 files left. It asks if I want backup copies. Yes, I do. So, I am supposed to check the box for the files that I want backed up. Do you really expect me to check the checkboxes for 14,000 files. Ugg. Fix this thing.

    1. Hola Pedro!
      Vaya a la configuración de la aplicación y cambie el modo de eliminación de archivos duplicados a “Eliminación permanente”; si aún tiene problemas, háganoslo saber: tenga un gran día 🙂

  6. I have succesfully used your Prime version to search for duplicate images. I then selected back up and they have moved to an external hard drive.
    Am I correct in thinking that I do not have to select – ‘delete duplicates selected’ button as the duplicated original files have already been REMOVED from their original folders and not just COPIED across to the external hard drive?

    1. Hi Smith!
      The “Backup” procedure doesn’t move the files but copies the files to a safe location so that they can be retrieved later if required, once you had performed a backup you can proceed to click “Delete” to eliminate duplicates, if you still have any kind of concerns feel free to contact us, have a great day 🙂

  10. I have no idea which files need to be reconfigured. I am just a simple PC user who has not technical talents or cleverness.
