I scanned a whole 1TB drive for duplicate files, which took maybe 4 hours. Onlye after the scan was complete did I notice that I forgot to exclude all "trash" folders that are present in many of the folders.
Checking the manual, I understood that I could go back to the settings and add the folders that I want excluding. I did that, but it scanned everything all over again.
I can to some extent filter out of view files from certain paths, but that doesn't undo the duplicate identifying and grouping.
Is there a way to remove folders from the comparison results? I imagine that's feasible, since the comparisons were made, they just need discarding (it's not like including a new folder that wasn't yet scanner or used in the comparison).
Thanks

Re: Exclude Folders After Scan
yes, you can do this with declone
under MARK button find MARK ON PROPERTY, select PATH, then pass the path name (part) you want to remove
this will select all the matching items
right click on them and pick REMOVE FROM PANE menu command
