Scan Custom Locations for Duplicates<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

After you choose your file type categories to scan for in the Duplicates cycle, you will also be able to choose what locations to include or exclude in the scan. You can populate the list and turn your selections on or off. This feature will give you a great deal more control on what is scanned and address performance issues by allowing you to focus scans if general scans take too long.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
