    Possible to filter folder comparison by creation date?

    I have a 2TB hard drive from which I'd like to delete all files and folders with a creation date more recent than 2013-01-01. (I won't get into why I want to do this for now; suffice to say I have duplicate back-ups and am planning a "process of unification".) Can anyone tell me if it's possible with Beyond Compare to filter the folder comparison by creation date? I suppose I could just use Windows File Explorer to search for files/folders by creation date and delete them that way, but I love Beyond Compare and use it all the time for all my filesystem manipulation like this, and was just wondering if it could help me with this task.

    Thanks for your insight.

    Hello,

    Sorry, BC4's filtering is limited to Last Modified date and does not check Creation date. You would need to use another program (like Explorer) to find and delete these files.
