6 years ago Thanks Jody. I was following an online article which describes it as a choice of which to delete https://www.tecmint.com/fdupes-find-and-delete-duplicate-files-in-linux/comment-page-1/#comment-966725 https://www.tecmint.com/fdupes-find-and-delete-duplicate-files-in-linux/comment-page-1/#comment-966725
But it’s clear from reading the terminal that the choice is of which to “preserve”.

The deletion is asking you which to KEEP, not which to DELETE. You want to keep "a" for all. That being said, I added the "n" option to jdupes https://github.com/jbruchon some time ago if you want the "keep none" feature.

I'm given the option to choose a range for deletion (eg [1 - 4]) or 'all'. But I cannot choose 'none' in instances where I need to keep the duplicates.
I've tried typing 'none', '0', 'no' and pressing return with no text typed. I am continuously prompted to make a choice for deletion and cannot continue to the next sets.
