Finding things in Finder · Reveal in Finder across the app
How do I look at duplicate copies in Finder before removing one?
Short answer: In the Duplicates window, click a copy's name to open it or its folder to show it in Finder, so you can compare copies first. Anything removed goes to the Recycle Vault and can be restored.
In the Duplicates window, every copy in a set is listed with its folder, its created and modified dates, and a Reveal in Finder icon.
- Click a file's name to open it.
- Click its folder to show it in Finder.
That way you can open two identical-looking copies and be sure which one to keep. Anything you then remove goes to the Recycle Vault, so it can be brought back.
