DupFinder

Though good, large storage is perhaps the cheapest it’s ever been, it still doesn’t mean that you can forgo checking your drives every now and then for some cleaning. Duplicate files can add up without you knowing, and before you know it, you’ll be wondering where all that drive space went.

Duplicate file cleaner tools exist for this very reason, so you won’t have to look for those redundant files yourself. DupFinder has a fitting name, as it will find your duplicate files with minimal input on your part, helping you save some storage space in the process.

The program remained easy to use throughout testing. Understanding the UI shouldn’t take long, as the app’s functions are clearly specified, making for a solution suitable to any type of user.

To begin, start adding the folders you wish to scan for duplicates. You don’t have to limit yourself to just one, so adding multiple folders is preferable as it’s more efficient overall. Before proceeding with the scan, consider also taking a moment to choose what you want the program to include or exclude from the analysis: photos, videos, documents, or any specific extension.

You may also set file size thresholds to get more relevant results.

Scanning didn’t take long at all, but this may vary between systems. In any case, upon completion, the program will reveal any detected duplicates. You can go through each of them and click Fix to dispose of the duplicates you wish to delete or click Auto Fix and let the program take care of everything.

I also appreciated that the program shows the size of the found duplicate file data, which can help you get a better overview of the storage you stand to retrieve.

DupFinder is a very easy tool to use. It should find all the duplicate files within your specified folders. Being able to fine-tune the scanning process is also appreciated, making this an easy tool to recommend.
