4DDiG Duplicate File Deleter

Duplicates are pretty much a given on anyone's system: as you use your computer, it's not uncommon for you to save a file twice, copy it to two different locations without realizing, and so on. While a few duplicate files won't tax your storage much, multiply them a bit, and things can get a bit tricky.

A tool to help users spot the duplicate files and folders on their system can greatly save them a considerable amount of storage space, depending on the circumstances. 4DDiG Duplicate File Deleter does just that: it scans your drives to look for duplicate files, and helps you get rid of those redundant space-wasters.

The program is rather simple at its core: it's a drive scanner that was factory-geared to spot the user's duplicate files. To that end, the practical — if a bit simplistic — interface does well to highlight what kind of duplicates the user is dealing with. Before prompting a scan, you can choose to have the program look exclusively for identical images, or for any files or folders that are indistinguishable from one another.

You can elect to only scan a specific folder, but having the program analyze an entire drive is in the realm of possibility. Scan results will be grouped into categories, so you can more easily navigate through everything. Users can also sort by size to see what's taking up the most space.

The Similar Images mode works especially well to present users with an overview of duplicate image files. The thumbnails are big enough to help you make out any differences, and the found photos are stored in groups.

4DDiG Duplicate File Deleter is a handy piece of software for those looking to get rid of duplicate files. Some users may find the 15 duplicate files deletion cap to be a bit restrictive in the Free tier, but at least it affords you the possibility to see what the program can do in a real-world scenario.
