What I need is a utility to find Folders that have been extracted from a Archive file ie. ZIP. RAR, 7Z, TAR etc
and so are an exact duplicate - just that one is extracted and one is not.

Like many other downloaders, I have LOTS of these floating around!

There would need to be options to allow automated/prompted deletion of either the folder or the Archive,
plus other considerations - such is if the Folder contains Menu/Desktop shortcuts that would be broken
if it was to be deleted and so on,

If anyone know of such a utililty or want to take it on please lets talk!

Regards
Shayne
