"104,016 Duplicate Files Found!"

    Redirected from https://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/104016-duplicate-files-found

    Hi.

    I have chosen this thread just because I could not find another one where I could fit this type of situation in.

    I am using the "Norton Security Online" Software Package and the "Norton Utilities 2016" Software Package on a "Microsoft Windows 10" "Creators' Update" Software Installation.

    I have just run the tool that finds the duplicate files on the whole and single "C:" partition of the Winchester Hard Disk Drive.

    The number of results is just puzzling. For some reason, I have 104,016 Duplicate Files.

    I do not know if this is a defect related to the "Norton Utilities 2016" Software Package or to the way that the "Microsoft Windows 10" Operating System is managing its own System Files.

    Unfortunately, the "Norton Utilities 2016" Software Package does not present a Feature that could save the Results of the Scan for Duplicate Files.

    Please find attached the screenshot depicting this situation.
