AllSync & AllDup

It's my first day using Alldup and I scanned 3 times my Music folder and I get always the same result.
But after every search I delete all the files that I do not want. But it seems it deletes them from the software but not for real.

What I am doing wrong ?

Eric Robidoux a guy with too many duplicate songs..

How do you delete them? Do you use AllDup's file manager?

The problem is the software was installed in French.
The first time I selected the files that I wanted, then I went into "Supression" and I picked "Supprimer tous les fichiers selectionnés" It deleted in Alldup the good files but not in the source folder

The second time I selected the files that I wanted, then I went into "Supression" and I picked "Supprimer de facon recursive, tous les fichiers d'un dossier specifique", then I picked My Music folder It deleted all the files

Ok I found the file manager.. Sorry

Hello,
I have the same problem.
When I click on : “Suppression” (software in French)
Then: "Supprimer les fichiers sélectionnés" (“Delete selected files”)

The files disappear and there's only one file left per group (which is what I want)... But, in fact, all these files are still on the hard disk. If I run the search again, they appear again and the disk space doesn't move.
I'm having trouble understanding the software's logic.

How can I (really) delete a selection of several thousand files?

Could you please explain the procedure?

THANK YOU in advance for your help.

It looks as if the French translator misunderstood the English text and therefore mistranslated it.

I guess your used the command “Remove selected files” but the translation is “Delete selected files”...removing something form a list doenst mean you delete the file.

Just use the file manager to delete the selected files in your search result.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
Could you please be more precise when you talk about file manager? Where is it? How do I open this file manager?

I just found the button. THANK YOU again for your help and the time you spent answering me.
Have a nice day!
