Everything finds only 2 files folders, but millions of copies of it

Post by Brondahl »

When I opened up Everything today, to locate a file, I was presented with this:

Part way down it shifts to a different record:

There are 1.5million records reported, but only these 2 rows shown.

I've tried rebooting the machine, and re-running the installer; no joy.
I'm not aware of an update having installed, so I assume a cache file has become corrupted?
What can I do to fix it? Is there a file I can delete/UI option to re-cache from scratch?

Click on tools, then Options. Select Indexes then click on Force Rebuild.
That will recreate Everything's database and hopefully solve your problem.
