Hello
While going to options in CCleaner Free version v5.01.5075 (64bits)
I clicked on duplicate file search, I had never done that before, and it found an impressive number of duplicate files.
Should I delete them and keep only one from each category?
Awaiting your response, I wish you a good day.
Best regards.

    Hi,
    So this really needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
    You really need to check each duplicate.
    I have no trust in this kind of software.
    I'll give you an example: if you take photos named, for example, SNB10020 (according to model) and you reset your camera after 20 photos, you will have a photo SNB10020 again.
    The elements need to be strictly identical: such as byte, bitrate, dimension, date, etc... there are so many factors.
    I would be wary of it.
