[QUOTE="mafocari, post: 1907937, member: 407922"] I'm trying to clean up some folders where some duplicate files were made or copied to, so I'm moving from the folder (and its sub-folders) I want to delete to the folder (and sub-folders) I want to keep. Sometimes, apparently based on the files or some other factor I'm unaware of, Finder prompts with "Skip, Stop, or Replace" buttons, but sometimes it's "Keep Both, Stop, or Replace". I'm not seeing why there's a difference. I understand what "Skip" and "Keep Both" mean and do, but I'm not understanding why it's one or the other. Can you explain the logic on this? [/QUOTE]
