Does any folder in tree have more than one file in it?

How about that!  Everything does indeed seem to do the trick.

"M:\Audio 2\" childfilecount:>1 folder:

Sooo many additional options as well.  Never knew.

And, because of drawing upon the index, fast as lightning.

Tentatively may be a winner.

Well, your PowerShell script nailed it.  Wonderful work.

Sorting, as you mentioned above, would not be so important as having the ability to export the list.  (However, nirsoft's SysExporter can indirectly grab the list, I noticed.)

Thanks, 4wd, for your continuing assistance.

You betcha, highend01!  You da man, and, yes, "More than one file.exe" is gold, for the purpose which it was created -- deleting all but the largest file in each folder, over a directory structure.

Now..., if you want to ENHANCE "More than one file.exe".....???

Before cutting out all that deadwood, really best to at least take a sampling of the files being zapped.  Open a few of those folders and see what's what.

That's the reason for the present request.

A quick note on what the application is with the present request:

Music Collection Maintenance.

I use a program called "Stream Writer" to capture streaming music.  And Media Monkey to maintain the organizing and database of the music.

Because of duplicates in pieces, I'd estimate the best stuff is only 20% of all that's been collected.  No sense in keeping the lower bitrate files, for instance.  And, often there's a "(2)" suffixed to same song, same bitrate.  (See "Wende" snap in original post at top.)

Seems we're not yet there, as far as optimal music collections and maintenance is concerned.

This version can "prune" (delete only the files with the smallest size and keep the one with the largest size) for each found folder...

Apart from that, the window is now resizable, and System Volume Information and $RECYCLE.BIN folders are now left out by default...

Use with care, you aren't asked if you're sure when you click the prune button^^
When the pruning is done, a log with all deleted files is copied to clipboard automatically...
