mount/volumeB/folderB/123_A_54321.pdf
mount/volumeC/folderC/123_A_54321.pdf

The script will remove the duplicate in volumeB and volumeC but keep file in volumeA.

Thank a million!

As a matter of interest, when you are removing these files, how do you intend to determine which occurence is preserved and which are deleted?

Did you intend to keep any records?

Yes, i intend to keep the records as shown in the example above in my post.
