How to remove / avoid displaying double entries in the result?

[Biff]

There are folders, files shown in the result not existing anymore or being double entries. How could I remove those respectively find the source, the volume?

Many thanks for the link. But I do not have others than NTFS volumes, no folders, file lists and such.

Examples?

[Biff]

Sorry, what examples?

[therube]

Examples of folder & files that show as duplicated.
And a screenshot too would help.

In my case, I have "dups" - but they are backed up to a second drive, which I also have indexed.




Oh, you could try a Force Rebuild of the index & see what happens with that.
But more interesting would be to figure out just why you're showing dups.

Many thanks for the screenshot.

Yes, my back ups are indexed, too.

I assume (but I am not sure), the reason is I bought a new drive for I: and copied the data from the old I: drive to the new one. And the content of the old drive is kept...ah no, it - of course - is indexed / reindexed and cannot have the old I: data anymore. Or...it has another drive letter now, "O".

I now tried to find the duplicate entries by using fsi:. fsi:38 and fsi:39 show drive I:. I created a new file to see which of the indexes would show it but none of them did. When I reindex drive I: (if it will be indexed I remove the other I: volume and if it cannot be indexed I will remove the same volume) all the other volumes (above all of the drives not being plugged in at the moment) are kept untouched?

If I understood correctly, this should get rid of your "old" I:-drive:

• Connect your new I:-drive
• Go to Menu:Tools > Options > Indexes > NTFS
  In the list of Local NTFS volumes, you will see two (or more?) I:-drives.
  One of them will be Offline Disk (I:).
  That has to be the old one as the new one is now online
• Select the Offline Disk (I:) i the list of Local NTFS volumes.
• Click the Remove button
• Click OK

After letting Everything update it's database, the content of the old I:-drive should now be gone.

Done, very great, yes, it seems as if all is well now.

Many thanks for the instructions...may be I should have thought of something like that myself....but...

Many thanks again
