On your computer many duplicate files get created over time, that occupies considerable amount of disk space and you are not aware of these duplicate files. The Remove Duplicate Files utility helps you identify duplicate files in one or more paths. You need to define search location, file mask, filter criteria etc. to refine your search to find duplicate file. Program compares the binary content of files and marks as duplicates files those are identical in contents. Once you know the duplicate files, you can perform an operation like delete, move, copy etc.
Features: The tool has an attractive user interface, all features are nicely arranged. You can perform find and delete duplicate files on your local drive, network computer and on external devices.
Scan criteria defines what to extract. In search location, you can include sub-folders for search. Exclusion list allows you to set exclusion for hidden files or folders, protect system file and folders. File path also can be excluded. The application has a very nice filter option, it allows you to set file mask such as documents, file archive, images files, music files, video files, program files, program source etc. You can filter with date and file size etc. Duplicate file search can be performed Byte by Byte, by CRC32, and same file and pattern duplicates. In the byte by byte search/comparison, you have options to set as file name similarity, same file extension and same date time. Duplicate files are displayed in groups to let you decide if they need to be kept or deleted. Search results can be exported in HTML, XML, and delimited text file format.
