# How do I find duplicate files in Delta Drive?

Open **Index & notes** and choose the **Duplicates** lens. It groups files whose contents are byte-for-byte identical and shows what keeping one of each would give back. Analytics has a card for the same thing.

It lists **only proven matches**: files it hasn't been able to compare yet are counted separately rather than guessed at. Review the group, then use **Move to Trash** on the copies you don't need — they stay recoverable from Trash.

For duplicates on your Mac rather than in the drive, see [Duplicates in the manual](https://storagestudio.us/manual/duplicates).
