You can find them all by opening a command console change to the root and do this
CD \
Dir /s /b "*.* copy" > filelist.txt
This will give you a list of fully pathed files in filelist.txt
Then you can edit the file to MOVE (reccomendd) or DEL as you choose.
Do a full backup and creat a system restore point before doing anything though.

Real G Do a file search using *copy.* as a search parameter. This should isolate all the duplicate files. HTH.

Yesterday I backed up and synced my PC files to Microsoft's OneDrive. For some insane reason, the syncing software made a copy of every file on my PC!!**&%%$ For example, if a file was named "tail wing.jpg", the copy was called "tail wing.jpg copy" The 'copied" files have the same date and bit size as the original files so I cannot do a sort on them for easy removal. It seems that I will need to delete them one at a time. So now, I have thousands of duplicate files on my PC with no easy way of removing them. Does anybody have a suggestion for removing them?
Edit: If I sort by "date created" I can group the "copy" files together for easy removal. However, I will need to do this to thousands of files $#!!%*&*()^^
