You need a way to filter duplicates that includes the "-1" suffix while ignoring variations with "1" elsewhere. There isn't a built-in option to force the search to match only files ending with "-1", but you can adjust your search criteria or use advanced filtering tools to achieve this automatically.

Looking for patterns that start with *-1.* using any extension will yield relevant matches. Adjusting the criteria ensures only files matching the specified format are returned, excluding longer strings like "Joohn.txt" which don't fit the 4-character limit. Consider using Total Commander for enhanced file management features, similar to Windows Explorer but with dual-view browsing and advanced navigation tools. You can select all files containing "-1" in a folder by pressing the "+" key on the numpad, then use keyboard shortcuts or mouse actions to copy, move, or organize them across sides. For deeper searches, open the search box via Commands > Search or press Alt+F7 to filter results and refine your selection.
