I can see that your suggestion should avoid me going through the shock-horror and then replace one off files that were deleted under the guise of "similar". Very unhappy.įingers crossed that one of you kind, knowledgable folk will be able to advise me on this. Is there a way of selecting only Junk files and Duplicate files to be deleted? If there is no way to do this, and not delete Similar files (which may be similar but are NOT duplicate, but individual stand alone file), then Clean is of no use to me as I cannot keep doing what I shall now have to do for the second time and spend a considerable period recovering and restoring hundreds of files from Trash, one by one. I spent an AGE recovering them from Trash last time and putting them back where they belonged! Not amused. I do not wish to delete the similars, as all the similars Clean deleted on first use of the prog (and, I now find on this second use) were single files of which I had no copy. Then, to my horror, Clean began deleting everything it had found including Duplicates and Similars!

Set it off and it analysed, then I did as the thread directed and, in the Overview window, clicked on review against the Junk Files, then clicked Done on the Review window to take me back to Clean Overview and clicked on Clean. I had experienced probs on first use so checked a thread in the Community to ensure I was doing things correctly.
