Duplicate Audio Files on Drive F

Post by uncle »

Am cleaning out my Audio Folder using Ccleaner Duplicate Finder and ALL my files are also on Drive F.
Did an Internet search for a reason: didn't find one.
So, why is this happening and can I delete the contents of Drive F rather than manually deleting them in Ccleaner? Thank you.

Have you used File Explorer to look at the contents of both folders and thus confirm the files really do exist in both locations?

Yes. (And thanks for the quick response).
In Duplicate Finder I selected the C drive and my documents folder, NOT F (or d) drive

Flash drive. 'Storage device'
But I, obviously, don't understand how the audio files landed there and no other (i.e. documents)

So what happens if you remove the flash drive from your computer and then use Duplicate finder?

If you open Windows Explorer and navigate to "This PC", what drives do you see?
