Question: I have created an image for my freshly installed Windows 10 last year,
I want to format my laptop now.

I am trying to copy this image (11GB) to an external harddisk so i can use it to resotre windows.

The problem is that when I try to copy the image folder I get "calculating" for an hour then nothing happens

Any idea how to resolve this?

Answer: 
### I only want the files that have the two inside the brackets `(2)`

Use the following search expression:

```
name:~"*(2)*"

```

Notes:

* `~` is the literal string indicator and what follows has to match the entire file name
* Depending on your needs `filename:` may be better than `name:`

ROBOCOPY SOURCE_PATH TARGET_PATH *(2)* /S /W:2 /R:2 /256 /MOVE

```

In a DOS box with admin privileges, issue this, and it will move all the files (and in subdirectories) with any name and file extension that contains (2) in it and then you could just delete the target directory.
