Are you certain the files just have the read-only attribute set? Or, are they protected via NTFS rights?<br />

Assuming its just the read-only attribute set... If Easy Duplicate Finder can export the results to a .txt file? If so, you could make a DOS/CMD .bat to delete the read-only files.

The Read Only attribute can be removed as well which, should allow your program to remove the duplicates.<br />

I have a server with a lot of large files, with a lot of duplicates in different folders that I need to delete. I purchased Easy Duplicate Finder. It detects the files well, but won’t delete read-only files. By default most of these files are Auto Cad drawings that by default are read-only.<br />
Is there a program out there that will do this? Or, is there a way to remove the read-only from the files without having to touch each one separately?<br />
Thanks in advance!

Detecting and deleting duplicate files on a file server.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
