![]() ![]() I am used to the world of Windows where you just find the file and delete it. ![]() This is going to take days, if not weeks. Finally, I wrote PhotoSweeper and they simply copy and pasted a basic answer that told me to do what I had already done. Why not filter them Until now, my 'solution' seems to be merging all my photos and videos in one destination, deleting every single file from the NAS, find and delete duplicates with 3rd party software and then upload everything to the NAS. I am completely willing to consider that I am just missing "something" about the process. I then went to the iPhoto app and could not find the trash there either. Which is my next step if no one has a better suggestion. ![]() I've probably put enough time and effort into duplicate photo remover apps that I could have actually deleted them manually by now. Please follow the steps below to manually delete PhotoSweeper and related leftovers. It shouldn't be this hard and I'm not stupid about following app instructions. However, the PhotoSweepers leftovers still remain in sections like Library, in which you have to manually search the PhotoSweepers name and then delete all of the associated files. But it is always about 27,000 duplicates and exactly 57 suggested for removal. I've tried PhotoSweeper using sorting by file name, size, picture match (exact because many photos are quite similar, and 90% just to see what it would suggest to delete. I sifted through my duplicates and after I deleted them, I had freed up more than 650MB of space. I've tried searching for them by the *_1024.jpg* and various combinations of that but they seem to be invisible other than in Photos. Once the files you want to get rid of are marked, review them in the browser and then move them to the trash when you are satisfied that you are not deleting any keepsakes. They show up when I look at all the Photo files and (oddly) they vary in size from the small 100-300KB files I save for use in my blog to the full size originals. I've run it 3 more times and it is always "57 files". I wasn't sure which photos it meant the first 2 tries but finally clicked "OK". For example, when I run it just looking at the Photos file (that is 69,000 files but should be about 20,000 without duplicates), it says it found 27,000 and asks if I want to delete them. It is a bit confusing, as it doesn't explain well what the choices it offers mean. Well, I forget the previous ones (they were free, so "iffy" and they did nothing), but I am using PhotoSweeper that I bought from the app store. ![]()
