Hi,
I have a backup whose sync is custom, using only "Create" or copy new items to the right.
When I click on "Compare", the tabs show everything that is different.
In this case, it's actually a lot, hundreds of items, and what is really to be copied is not easy to spot.
Is there a way to remove all the clutter and only see the items to be copied?

By clicking on a Compare result category icon, mid-below the Compare results, you toggle the visibility of the Compare results of that category.

Thank you for the quick response. Most of the items showing up (amost 14,000) comes under "_gsdata_". Can you please let me know what is this? If I exclude this, most of the problem gets solved. But I need to know what is it.

You have to figure out yourself what those items under "_gsdata_" are.
They are not related in any way to FreeFileSync.
FreeFileSync just finds those apparently existing items, and may propose sync actions for those items.

Have you used 'Goodsync' before to sync your files. These files are related to that program. I have found it OK to delete them.
