How Trash Duplicate Files works

4 steps, in order, on every run.

  1. List Files by ProjectList files in each chosen project group. Skip native online documents and shortcuts.
  2. Compare File ContentsDownload eligible files and compare their contents within each project. Flag groups without a sole match in the designated folder for owner review.
  3. Trash Confirmed ExtrasRecheck the keeper and extra copies before trashing. Leave changed files or files without trash access in place for owner review.
  4. Email Folder OwnersSend owners a dated log of kept and trashed files. Include unresolved copies and failed trash attempts for follow-up.

Set your rules
  • Choose the Friday 9 a.m. time zone and the shared project folders to review, grouped by project; include subfolders only when their owners approve them.
  • For each project group, name one folder whose matching file is authoritative and provide the email addresses of the affected folder owners.
  • Authorize reading and trashing binary files in those folders and sending cleanup emails; exclude native online documents, shortcuts, and any folders that must never be cleaned.
Launch the Agent

Use safe mode to approve every result before it goes out, or let the Agent run automatically.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Trash Duplicate Files:

How does this Agent decide which duplicate file to keep?

You choose an authoritative folder for each project group. The Agent keeps its sole exact match there. Owners decide when that folder has no match or several.

Does this duplicate file finder scan every file type?

You choose the project folders and whether to include subfolders. The Agent compares stored binary files and leaves native online documents and shortcuts alone.

What happens if a file changes or an owner email fails?

The Agent leaves changed copies in place and lists them for review. If an owner's email fails, the remaining owners hear about the delivery failure.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?

Yes. Every run creates a plain-language log that you can review and export. Logs are kept for twelve months.

What happens if I cancel?

The Agent stops at the end of the billing month and its tool connections are removed. Your run logs remain available for twelve months.
