Hi Hoarders,

I'm simply to stupid this week. Please see the image below. I have a complete set of year based folder (2010 to 2019) with all images/videos from the single years (no subfolders, just the files directly there).

I also have collection folders of events I was the photographer (one folder per event) - on the left side.

Question: How can I simply remove all files from the folders in (B) that are already sorted to folders in (A)?

I'd like to reduce duplicated files but be to stupid to make it. I tried different tools but most of them search for duplicated files not between the side A and B. The tool doesn't have to be free (but cool if) but should just work for this scenario.

Any advice? Thanks.
