Softpedia Editor's Review for Easy Duplicate Finder Portable
|
A powerful tool that will help you find and delete duplicate files
Written by Elena Opris on December 15th, 2011
Easy Duplicate Finder is a software that scans your computer and reveals all duplicate files. This way, you can delete the copies and free disk space.
Since this is a portable product, the program doesn't need to be installed, so your Windows registry entries do not change. But you can also run the tool on any computer directly from an external device.
The user interface of the program may seem overwhelming at first, but navigating through it is simpler than it looks.
The first thing you need to do is configure search options. Besides selecting the directory that will be scanned, you can define masks (e.g. file extensions), set minimum and maximum file size, exclude system folders and protect other system items.
The search process displays results with original and duplicate files. So, you can view the file name, path, duplicate group, size, time and date of last modification. Duplicate groups are delimited by colors (white and green), so you can easily spot them.
In the next step, you have to select the duplicates which will be moved, deleted or renamed. So, you can select all duplicated file from the current folder or from the selected branch of subdirectories, or you can leave only the newest/oldest version in each group.
The program uses a low amount of system resources, comes with an online step-by-step user guide, lets you quickly access commands via hotkeys and takes plenty of time to finish a scanning task.
However, since it presents a risk for first-time users to accidentally delete important files (although some Windows files cannot be deleted, for instance), we only recommend Easy Duplicate Finder to power users.
