Portable LookDisk

Duplicate files take over a lot of disk space, which is never a good thing. Thus, cleaning this type of items can be quite important and Portable LookDisk is a tool that was created specifically for detecting this them throughout the entire disk.

The program has a simple interface that is very easy to figure out, thanks to the intuitive layout.

The app has the capacity to find duplicate files but it doesn’t have the ability to instruct which items need to be deleted. It advises to create a backup of all the files so you can undo any accidental or erroneous deletion of files.

You may have the program search all the disk volumes for duplicates, but the process is bound to take a lot of time to complete, depending on the size of the disk. The results are displayed in the interface, complete with the name of the file, the folder it is part of, the size, date of modification and attributes.

The app lets you know how many duplicate groups it detected, how many files and the total size of these items, as well as that of the searched files. The app can search for duplicate files by name or content even within ZIP, ARJ, RAR, LZH and CAB files.

The tool can also be used to search for files or even text. The program can even find text in files that are inside an archive.

Since the program is completely portable, it doesn’t need to be installed in order to work and can be launched from removable devices, such as flash drives.

The bottom line is that Portable LookDisk is a nice program that can be quite useful to have around. Less experienced individuals should find it easy to handle, thanks to the intuitive layout. However, deciding which items can be deleted and which must remain so the system doesn’t crash can be quite difficult and required further knowledge in the matter.
