As seen below (closely), some filenames are not being removed while others
are, such as in the first stanza, some pdfs are removed, some aren't. In the

Oops, that should be:

Sorry, 'test' was my first choice of name
but I changed it to found later.
But not everywhere :-(

Hey, been awhile, but I ran into os.walk and it fit what I needed to do for
an issue I've had for a long time: I have tons of pictures in my top
directory of pictures which are duplicated into properly named

TIA,
Clayton
