Updated to current version and since then, finding duplicates is working fine but when selected for deletion (moving to named folder) it is not working.

Deactivate the file protection of the source folder.

Thanks for your prompt reply, I appreciate your help
I changed the permission on the folder in question and have full access, but still not working. Not removing the selected files to another folder I nominated.
I attach the current log hope it helps?

Oh, just surmising, but maybe it is not the directory itself, but the individual files?
Anything odd with their permissions?

The directory is named "Recover".
Any significance to that, as in are this files that were recovered from a dead HDD?
If so, possible the recovery programs sets file permissions that are thwarting the move?


(Similarly, any "recovered" file [from a bad drive] has to be considered as "bad" until it can be confirmed as "good" by comparing to another "good" copy, from a different backup...)
