Windows duplicate file finding programs


NEEDS MORE INFO & CONCLUSION


http://www.howtogeek.com/200962/how-to-find-and-remove-duplicate-files-on-windows/


excerpt:



http://doubles.sourceforge.net/


Duplicate Files Finder is another barebones-yet-functional open-source application with a no-frills interface. It actually has a different approach from other applications. It looks for files that have the exact same size and only then compares them to see if they’re duplicates of each other.


This means you won’t get the almost-but-not-quite-exact matching features other applications provide. However, it also means that Duplicate File Finder should be even faster at scanning through a larger set of files. if you only care about files that are completely identical and not just almost identical, you can save time with Duplicate File Finder. It doesn’t have the prettiest interface, but it definitely works.

  1. The program is good. I used it to search for duplicates on your disk. There are many similar programs, such as Duplicate Remover Free http://manyprog.com. I use it because it's free.
