Deleting and Compressing

Once a scan is complete, you can delete or compress files of folders directly from within Baseline.

Deleted items will be moved to the Trash.

Compress files will be compressed with zip, and the original item will be moved to the Trash. Simply double click the zip file to uncompress it.

To Delete or Compress Files or Folders

  1. The volume must have been scanned before you can delete or compress items.

  2. Select the files or folders to be processed in the directory, browser, or duplicate view.

  3. Click on the delete or compress toolbar items, or on the corresponding menu item from the File menu.

  4. A warning alert will be displayed. Click OK, and the items will be deleted or compressed.

If you accidentally deleted the wrong files or folders, you can either retrieve the items from the Trash yourself, or use the Undo item in the Edit menu (until the Volume is rescanned again).
