DuplicadosEraser2

Let’s say you use a lot of pictures or sounds in your projects. This can easily lead to the case when the same file is found in multiple directories, and on the long run, you can end up with a lot of space taken up for no reason. To prevent these situations, or at least counter them, DuplicadosEraser2 comes with the means to identify and remove duplicate files.

A cool advantage here is that you don’t even have to go through a setup process to make the application work, so you can just as well store it on a thumb drive to use on other computers. Since registry entries are not modified during runtime, there’s no need to worry about the health status of the target computer.

The application means serious business, and even though you can’t actually set any tasks to run recursively, available options are sure to make it worth your while. In other words, the variety of selection options and filters to apply in the scan process make sure you don’t miss any pair of duplicates, and also take the right action.

The entire operation is based on projects. You need to create a new one at first, but you can also save it in case you’re using the same directories to work with particular files. On the bright side, a wizard helps you set up details to scan files, which include the location to scan and ignore, files to scan and ignore, and more.

All detected items end up in the main window, with various column headers to show name, path, size, attributes, CRC32 value, date and time values, and more. Different mark options can be used in order to select duplicates, first, last items on the list and more. Files can then be moved to a new location, deleted, or permanently removed through a powerful wipe algorithm so they’re never brought back.

To sum it up, DuplicadosEraser2 is a nifty tool you can use to clean up your computer after building projects with an abundance of files you gathered from cameras, recording devices, and more. It can feel a little rough around the edges, but it’s sure to help you free up a considerable amount of disk space.
