SysTools Duplicates Finder

Duplicate files can add up and tax you quite a bit, storage-wise. Depending on your workflows, the impact on storage space may be more or less felt. Regardless, it's always good to reclaim storage, which is why it's worthwhile to look after your duplicates.

Dedicated duplicate file finder and remover tools have been around for quite some time, and SysTools Duplicates Finder is a new entry that can possibly be of use to a good chunk of users. The process to scanning for duplicates is straightforward, which is something I'd say any user can benefit from, through which the program will let you know what you're dealing with.

As stated above, there really isn't much to comment on operating the program, as it's all rather straightforward. Add a few folders of interest where you sispect you have duplicate files, and the program will begin scanning to reveal anything of note. Note that you can choose to limit the scanning to only find matching extensions, contents, or file names. Depending on the directory, the scanning may take a little while, and your hardware might also play a part. Nevertheless, it shouldn't take long.

Any duplicate data found will be displayed on the interface, along with some statistics. A duplicate file count will be provided, as well as the number of files that have identical copies. The size of the data will likewise be displayed.

The next step to getting your duplicate files removed is deleting them directly through the program. You cannot do that on the Free version, however, which is a bit of a bummer. Alternatively, you may simply browse to the respective directory via File Explorer to delete the files yourself. It is an extra step, but at least the program actually reveals the redundant data, so you have something to go off of.

Overall, I'd say that SysTools Duplicates Finder is an interesting piece of software. It can reveal your duplicate data and help you delete it, provided you own a license. Otherwise, you'll have to dispose of that data yourself. The program is simple enough, though, so should confidently be able to get some use out of it.
