Hi,

 

It cant find on those folders because NO duplicated photos. It can only see SAME (size, resolution ...) otherwise it can't find.

After downloading the software you suggested  I was able to delete a lot of duplicates, but not all.

 

When I press start duplicate search it only shows these folders:

 

c:\recovery files\users\omarplictures

c:\users\apsy\pictures

 

After the files were  deleted I check Windows Photo Gallery in "All Photos and videos" it show a lot of duplicates.

 

How could I delete the duplicates files  in  " All Photos and Videos"

Hi,

 

You can change to ANY folder. Can you see a windows under Options, Windows ? Expand it and you can select ANY folder.
