Duplicate File Hunter

Over time, your computer becomes cluttered with useless files. A lot of your hard drive space is occupied by redundant items. Duplicate File Hunter is a program designed to help you with this problem.

While manually removing these items is a tedious work that can take a lot of your time, some specialized software can take care of the problem for you. Duplicate File Hunter is an app that looks for redundant files and makes a list so you can easily dispose of them.

You can refine your search by defining a minimum file size and selecting a file format, such as image (JPEG, GIF, BMP, PCX, TIFF, PSD, TGA, ICO), audio (WAV, MP3, OGG, AC3, AAC, WMA, MID), video (AVI, MPG, WMV, M2V, DIVX) and custom.

The search can be done on entire partitions or only in certain folders. Any of the files on the resulting list can be removed by simply selecting them and pressing the delete key. Another option is to move the files in a software-defined folder on your disks. Also, you can open the items by double-clicking on them.

The app comes with a clean interface that focuses on the search result list. Figuring out how to operate this program shouldn’t be a problem even for inexperienced users.

Unlike some other software available for download, Duplicate File Hunter works quite slowly in scanning your computer. However, the list of files provided by the program is extensive. Besides the name of the file, the app shows you the directory path and size.
