Duplicate files · Where it looks and what it skips
Can I choose which folders are scanned for duplicates?
Short answer: Not right now. This Mac always covers Downloads, Documents, Desktop, Movies and Pictures, and cloud accounts are checked as a whole. You can switch Auto-scan per source, scan on demand, and include small files — and nothing is removed until you choose.
Not right now. The This Mac source always checks your Downloads, Documents, Desktop, Movies and Pictures folders, and each cloud account is checked as a whole. Adding or excluding individual folders isn't available right now.
What you can control:
- Turn Auto-scan on or off for each source.
- Use Scan now to check one source on demand.
- Turn on Include small files to compare files under 1 MB too.
And because nothing is removed until you pick it, you can simply leave any set you'd rather keep as it is.
