I have several duplicate photos on my computer. Anyone know of a good way to delete duplicate photos in bulk?
When I import new photos I try to be careful to only import new ones but I still seem to add old ones and wind up with duplicates.

Hold the shift button down and it allows you to click on more then one photo at a time. Then you can delete as a group.

Thanks Chris, that’s what I currently do. Each photo has its own file number, I’m looking for something that will identify duplicate photo files and delete them automatically.

There is nothing that I know of that can do that.

I was going to say the same thing. I have never heard of anything that could do that either.

The only thing I can think of would be to cut & paste them all into one big folder, and click "yes to all" when it asks if you want to save over an existing file with the same name.

That would work if they had the exact same name. When I get duplicates from downloading it usually throws a (1) behind the name, so it wouldn't be recognized as a duplicate when you copy & paste. As for something automatic, I haven't heard of anything.
