Overall: The "Renamed Duplicate" Nightmare In research, we often save the same dataset multiple times. One person might name it survey_data_v1.csv and another might save it as Raw_Data_Final_USE_THIS.csv. Standard Windows search won't catch those as duplicates because the names are different. FolderManifest uses checksums (digital fingerprints), so it knows they are the same file even if the names were changed.
